DIRECTV AEP2-100 Advanced Entertainment Platform Instruction Manual

Important features of the RC90C remote control

• Default IR mode requires the remote and the IR sensor for the AEP 2-100 set-top box to be in line of sight to each other and provides set-top box control without having to pair the remote with the AEP 2-100 set-top box.
• Optional RF mode requires pairing the remote with the AEP 2-100 set-top box and provides set top box control. This eliminates the need for the remote and the IR sensor for the AEP 2-100 set top box to be in line of sight to each other. The remote and AEP 2-100 set-top box must establish an RF connection and remain within RF operation range in order to provide control of the set-top box. The RF operation range is up to 10 meters but will be dependent on the specific operating environment.
• The remote has a directional pad for navigation. Basic operations and functions can be selected by pressing the up, down, left, or right direction arrows as needed to highlight the desired feature, then pressing .
• The remote may be configured to control TV power, volume, mute, and input selection functions in addition to AEP2-100 set-top box functions. The remote and the IR sensor for the TV must be in line of sight of each other and the remote must be configured for the TV make/model in order to provide control of the above TV functions.

Remote Control Setup

The RC90C remote comes configured to control the AEP2-100 set-top box in IR mode. After completing
the AEP2-100 set-top box installation and installing batteries in the RC90C remote, turn the TV on and point the remote at the IR sensor for the AEP2-100 set-top box and then press and hold << (Rewind) + GUIDE>> to access the Admin Settings application. Once in Admin Settings, navigate to Remote Setup
and follow the instructions on the screen. There are options for configuring the remote to operate in either IR or RF mode to control the set-top box as well as setup the remote to control the TV power, volume, mute, and input selection functions. There is also an option to update the RC90C remote software as needed.

If desired, manual TV setup and RF mode pairing operations are also possible as described in the sections below.

Manual TV setup

To manually setup the remote for TV power, volume, mute, and input control:

1. Press & hold <<“–” (Dash) + INFO>> to enter Setup mode (Red LEDs 1 & 2 will light up).
2. Press the 4 or 5 digit code that represents the TV make/model. If an invalid code is entered, the remote will notify user with an error blink (Red LEDs 1 & 2 short blink 2x @ 200ms) and then return to Setup mode (Red LEDs 1 & 2 on) to wait for the next code entry.
3. Press to save the TV make/model code. Red LEDs 1 & 2 will long blink 1x @ 1000ms and then turn off.

While in Setup mode, the remote will return to User mode and notify the user with an error blink (Red LEDs 1 & 2 will short blink 2x @ 200ms and then turn off) if:

• User presses the key
• There is no user activity for > 20 seconds

No code is saved under these circumstances.

Manual RF mode pairing

To manually initiate RF mode pairing on the remote, press and hold << (Rewind)

• (Fast Forward) >> until the remote LEDs begin blinking in an alternating sequence. The remote will initiate RF advertising and be discover able for up to 60 seconds. If the remote is successfully paired with another device, both LEDs will long blink 1x @ 1000ms. In the event no pairing is successfully completed before the 60 second timeout, the remote will stop advertising, the LEDs will stop blinking, and the remote will return to User mode.

Clear RF mode pairing To manually clear any RF mode pairing on the remote:

1. Press & hold <<“–” (Dash) + (User Settings) >> to enter Clear RF pairing mode (Red LEDs 1 & 2 will light up).
2. Press <9> <8> <1>.

While in Clear RF pairing mode, the remote will return to User mode and notify the user with an error blink (Red LEDs 1 & 2 will short blink 2x @ 200ms and then turn off) if:

• User presses the key
• User presses any key sequence other than <9> <8> <1>
• There is no user activity for > 20 seconds

No RF pairing is cleared under these circumstances.

Low Battery Voltage

Setup and RF pairing functions are not supported if the battery voltage falls below the operating threshold. In such an event, the LEDs will notify the user through the Low Battery indication. The RCU will then return to User mode

Factory Reset

To factory reset the remote:

1. Press & hold <<“–” (Dash) + INFO>> to enter Setup mode (Red LEDs 1 & 2 will light up).
2. Press <9> <8> <1>.

When factory reset, the remote will delete any TV make/model or RF pairing settings and return to default IR mode for AEP2-100 set-top box control.

While in Setup mode, the remote will return to User mode and notify the user with an error blink (Red LEDs 1 & 2 will short blink 2x @ 200ms and then turn off) if:

• User presses the key
• There is no user activity for > 20 seconds

No factory reset is performed under these circumstances.
