REPAIRING AND NOT THROWING AWAY

In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

DIRECT TV REMOTE CONTROL - RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS - CHANGING VOLUME LOCK


CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
Depending on how you set up your remote, the VOL and MUTE may control the volume only on your TV, regardless of the position of the MODE switch. This remote can be set up so that the VOL and MUTE keys work only with the component selected by the MODE switch. To enable this feature, perform the following steps:
  • Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the DIRECTV position flashes twice, then release both keys.
  • Using the number keys, enter 9-9-3. (The green light will flash twice after the 3.)
  • Press and release the VOL+ key. (The green light flashes 4 times.)
  • Now the VOL and MUTE keys will work only for the component selected by the MODE switch position.
Locking Volume to AV1, AV2 or TV
  • Slide the MODE switch to the AV1, AV2or TV position to lock the volume.
  • Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green lights under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.
  • Using the number keys, enter 9-9-3. (The green light flashes twice.)
  • Press and release the SELECT key. (The green light flashes twice.)
NOTEDIRECTV Receivers don’t have volume control, so the remote will not allow the user to lock volume to the DIRECTV mode.
FACTORY DEFAULT

  • Using the number keys, enter 9-8-1. (The green light flashes 4 times.)

  • SOLUTION: Try all listed codes for the device brand being set up. Make sure all components can be operated with an infrared remote control.

  • SOLUTION: Use the VCR codes for your brand. Some combo units may require both a TV code and a VCR code for full operation.
PROBLEM: CHAN ,CHANT and PREV do not work for your RCA TV.

ACTIVATING RF TRANSMITTER
Not all DIRECTV Receivers are RF-capable. Also, some RF-capable DIRECTV Receivers include integrated RF antennas and do not require an external antenna. If your receiver requires the external RF antenna, before activating the RF transmitter, locate the RF antenna included with your remote control and insert it into the RF remote antenna coaxial connector on the back of your DIRECTV Receiver.
  • To activate the RF transmitter on your DIRECTV Remote Control, perform the following steps:
  1. Locate the 12-digit Receiver ID (RID) number of your DIRECTV Receiver. You can find the RID number on the back panel of your receiver, or inside the CAM access door next to the reset button.
  2. Write down the last six digits of the RID number.
  3. Slide the mode switch to DIRECTV, AV1, or AV2.
  4. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.
  5. Using the number keys, enter 9 6 1. (The green light flashes twice.)
  6. Press and release CHANS. (The green light flashes twice.)
  7. Using the NUMBER keys, enter the the last six digits of the RID number. (See step 2 above.)
  8. Press and release the SELECTkey. (The green light flashes twice.)
DE-ACTIVATING RF TRANSMITTER
  • To deactivate the RF transmitter on your DIRECTV Remote Control, perform the following steps:
  1. Slide the mode switch to DIRECTV, AV1, or AV2.
  2. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green lights under the selected switch flash twice and release both keys.
  3. Using the number keys, enter 9 6 1. (The green light flashes twice.)
  4. Press and release CHAN. (The green light flashes twice.) The RF transmitter on your remote control is now deactivated.
