1 .Welcome

Congratulations on acquiring the new DStv multi-function PVR Remote Control.

We are proud to bring you another product at the cutting edge of technology. The PVR Remote
Control is essentially a mini hand-held PC and offers significantly more functionality than a normal
remote control. It not only controls the decoder, it also offers :

o Basic control of the television and home entertainment systems in your home
o Quick access to favourite channels
o Macros (it can record a string of commands on a single button)
o Volume redirect (change the volume of the hi-fi or TV instead of the decoder)

Enjoy!

2. Taking Care of the Remote Control

2.1 Cleaning
Clean the remote control using a damp cloth. Please do NOT use cleaning liquids, as the remote
control has a special coating to prevent the printing from fading or rubbing off and certain cleaning
liquids may dissolve this coating.

2.2 Batteries
The PVR Remote Control has been optimised for heavy duty or alkaline batteries and comes with
2 new “AA/LR6” heavy duty batteries. Rechargeable batteries may also be used, however for
optimal performance, we do not recommend that you use normal batteries.

The i-Plate on the PVR has an indicator that will be displayed when the batteries in the remote
control are running low. (The Battery Low indicator will appear on the right hand side of the
i-Plate.) Once this icon appears, we recommend that you replace the batteries as soon as
possible.

Note
X The Battery Low indicator will not disappear immediately after you replace the batteries, as
the decoder requires a few button presses from the remote control to confirm that the
batteries have been replaced.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 4

4. What’s New?

4.1 The SHIFT button

Quick Summary
To access secondary functionality of the keys at the top of the remote control, press SHIFT
followed by the required button.

The four buttons at the top of the remote control each have a secondary function. Only TV, ALT,
TV GUIDE and LANGUAGE buttons are active during normal use.

To access the secondary functionality, press SHIFT followed by the required button. After pressing
SHIFT, it will flash / blink, confirming the mode of the remote control (ie. the SHIFT function, also
known as “shifted functionality” has been activated). It is not necessary to hold both buttons down
at the same time.

The SHIFT function is then automatically cancelled and further button presses will not be affected.
If not used, the SHIFT function will cancel itself after 20 seconds. The SHIFT function can also be
cancelled by pressing SHIFT again.

o To go to the Audio Bouquet, press SHIFT followed by the TV button.

o To go to the About Us section of the DStv Guide, press SHIFT followed by the TV GUIDE
button.

o To display the Subtitles / Teletext options, press SHIFT followed by the ALT button (only
available on selected channels).

o To go to the Parental Control menu, press SHIFT followed by the LANGUAGE button.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 5

4.2 The Dial
Quick Summary
RED settings are for TV1.
BLUE settings are for TV2.
X, Y and X are for controlling Hi-Fi’s and TVs.

The dial is used for different TV environments and can be customised for use with the TV and
other audio visual equipment in your home. The position of the dial can be seen through the mode
window. In the example below, the remote control is in mode 2B.

Whenever a button is pressed, the mode window will blink confirming that the command was sent
in that mode.

Tip
L Just check the colours, you don’t need to read the setting.

4.2.1 What is a Mode?

The different sections of the dial are called modes. The basic functions are the same in each
mode, however each mode also allows control of additional devices.

o The TV1 environment of the PVR is controlled with 1A, 1B, 1C or 1D (the red modes).
o The TV2 environment of the PVR is controlled with 2A, 2B, 2C or 2D (the blue modes).
o The TV(s) and Hi-Fi / home theatre systems are controlled with X, Y and Z (the
programmable modes).

Currently, the PVR does not recognise the difference between 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D - they are all
interpreted as 'red mode' and they all control TV1. Likewise 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D are all interpreted
as 'blue mode' and they all control TV2. In future, the A/B/C/D modes may be used for multi-player
interaction or personalisation options.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 6

4.2.2 Turning the Dial
Place a thumb on each side of the ring (next to the left and right arrow buttons) and push upwards
with one thumb. The dial can turn both clockwise and anti-clockwise.

4.3 Blinking Lights

Quick Summary
Quick blink = OK
Slow blink(s) = error
SHIFT button blink = advanced mode
No blink = invalid button

The remote control has various ways of indicating specific conditions. Examples :

o The SHIFT button will blink continuously when SHIFT is active

o The mode window will blink whenever a button is pressed to confirm that the command has
been sent in that mode

If there is no blink, the button being pressed is invalid. For example, pressing OK in a mode that
you have set up to control the Hi-Fi.

With certain functions, the SHIFT button blinks when a command is sent, instead of the mode
window. (See “Advanced Functionality” from page 9). This indicates that a special mode is active
and that the mode displayed in the mode window is inactive (not being used). These special
modes are all subject to a 20 second timeout.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 7

4.4 Timeouts
Quick Summary
Don’t worry, if you make an error, it will fix itself.

If any button on the remote control is held down continuously for longer than 30 seconds, the
remote control will automatically switch off. This is done to conserve batteries if (for example) you
sit on the remote control, a book is placed on top of it, etc.

Note
X If left alone for more than 20 seconds, the remote control will always return to normal
operation for the selected mode.

4.5 The Multi-Function Button

Quick Summary
It’s intuitive. Just play with it.

The PLAY / PAUSE button on the PVR Remote Control is used to control a variety of functions on
the PVR - Play, Pause, Rewind and Fast Forward.

To Play or Pause - press PLAY / PAUSE

To Rewind - slide the PLAY / PAUSE button towards the left
To Fast Forward - slide the PLAY / PAUSE button towards the right

For more information on how to rewind / fast forward on the PVR, please refer to the PVR Viewer’s
Guide. (Go to www.dstv.com/go/pvr)

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 8

5. Advanced Functionality

Please take note of the following important points which are applicable to this section.

o Any programming instruction will be abandoned if 20 seconds passes without a button being
pressed.
o Pressing EXIT will abandon any programming changes and return the remote control to its
normal operational mode. Programming a macro is the only exception to this point.
o Pressing HELP concludes programming and stores all changes. (The HELP button was
assigned to this function, as it is the only button unlikely to form part of a macro.)
o Two slow blinks at any time indicate that an error has occurred and that the remote control
has returned to its normal operational mode. Check the procedure carefully and start again.
o Success is indicated by three quick blinks.

5.1 Controlling TV and Audio Systems

Quick Programming Summary
Find the code for your TV.
Select mode X, Y or Z.
Press and hold SHIFT until the mode window blinks 3 times.
Enter the code.

5.1.1 What is this used for?

The PVR Remote Control has the ability to control up to three other devices apart from the PVR.
The X, Y and Z modes can each be programmed to control a TV or amplifier / home theatre
system.

Follow the instructions below and you should be able to control your entire DStv viewing
environment with just one remote control.

Note
X Only the X, Y and Z modes can be used to control other devices.

Tip
L Once you have completed programming the remote control, write the product codes on the
sticker inside the battery compartment for future reference.

5.1.2 Programming the remote to control TV / Hi-Fi devices

There are two ways to programme the remote to control other devices.

o Direct set-up : for this you need the code of your device (see the list supplied)
o Step-and-set method : the code is not required, however this method of programming the
remote control will take much longer

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 9

Direct set-up
1. Find the 5-digit code for the device from the list provided in this manual (see “Code Tables”
from page 22). If there is more than one code listed for the device, start with the first one
(they are listed in order of probability).
2. Select the mode (X, Y or Z) that you would like to programme to control the other device.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
4. Enter the 5-digit code using the number buttons on the remote control. (The mode window
will blink once after you enter the first 4 numbers and three times after you enter the last
number – confirming that a valid code has been received).
5. This mode can now be used to control the selected device.

Note
X The remote control will indicate an error (two slow blinks in the mode window) and exit the
programming mode if you press anything other than a number button when entering the
device code.

Step-and-set
1. Select the mode (X, Y or Z) that you would like to programme to control the other device.
2. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
3. Enter 991 using the number buttons on the remote control. (The mode window will blink
three times to indicate acceptance).
4. If you are programming the remote to control a TV, press the TV button. If you are
programming the remote to control an amplifier / home theatre system, press the ALT button.
5. Press P+ until the device you are trying to control switches on or off.
6. Press HELP to store this programme and exit the process. (The mode window will blink 3
times to indicate successful completion).
7. This mode can now be used to control the selected device.

Optional Steps
Between steps 5 and 6, you can test other functions of the device you are trying to control (instead
of the power button function). These other functions can be number buttons (0, 1, 2...) volume up,
volume down, mute, and AV. You cannot test programme up (P+) and programme down (P-).

To do this while searching, press the desired function you wish to test (eg. MUTE), and then press
P+ to continue searching. Now each time you press P+, the mute command (instead of the power
on / off command) is sent. This means you continue pressing P+ until the device goes mute
(indicating it recognises the mute command just sent).

Tip
L Once you have completed the steps above, write the programmed codes on the sticker in the
battery compartment for future reference. See “Code Verification” on page 20 if you used the
Step-and-set method to programme your device.

Note
X The P- button can be used to search backwards through the codes if the correct code was
bypassed.
X Scanning of the code database is circular. The mode window will blink 5 times on reaching
the end of the database, but it will stay in the Step-and-set programming mode and start from
the beginning of the database if P+ is pressed again.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 10

5.2 Volume Redirect
Quick Programming Summary
Press and hold SHIFT until the mode window blinks 3 times.
Press MUTE or V+ or V-.
Turn the dial to the mode (X, Y or Z) that you want the volume to be directed to and press HELP to
confirm your selection.
To toggle between normal and redirected volume, press SHIFT followed by the MUTE or V+ or V-
button.
The SHIFT button will blink instead of the mode window when volume commands are being
redirected.

5.2.1 What is this used for?

This feature allows you to change the volume on the TV or Hi-Fi while controlling the PVR (TV1 or
TV2) without having to change the mode on the remote control. So, although the remote is being
used to control the PVR, all volume related commands are sent to the device you have selected
(eg. the TV), instead of the PVR.

This means that the volume on the PVR stays the same while the volume changes only occur on
the selected device. This feature is particularly useful if there is more than one room that can view
the same content at the same time. It also avoids the need for a high volume setting on the Hi-Fi to
compensate for low PVR volumes.

5.2.2 Enabling and Disabling Volume Redirect

Once programmed, the volume redirect feature can be enabled and disabled by using SHIFT in
conjunction with the volume buttons (MUTE, V+, V-). This allows you to easily switch between
normal and redirected volume control without having to repeat the programming sequence.
Note
X This function can only be assigned to the TV1 (red) and TV2 (blue) modes of the remote. It
will not work with the X, Y or Z modes.
X The TV1 and TV2 environments are independent, so changing volume in the red mode (1A,
1B, 1C or 1D) will not affect volume settings in the blue mode (2A, 2B, 2C or 2D).
X This allows you to use the same remote in separate TV1 and TV2 environments and it will
automatically redirect the volume to the correct target device for each environment as you
switch between TV1 and TV2 mode.

5.2.3 Programming Volume Redirect

To programme and use the volume redirect feature, you must first programme a device to receive
commands from the PVR Remote Control (see “Controlling TV and Audio Systems” on page 9).

1. Note the mode of the device that you would like to programme to receive the volume
commands (eg. home theatre system on X mode, TV on Y mode, etc)
2. Use the dial to select the mode (red for TV1 or blue for TV2) that is used to control the PVR
where you are now.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
4. Turn the dial to the mode that you noted in step 1.
5. Press HELP to confirm your selection. (The mode window will blink three times to indicate
successful completion).
6. Return to the mode for controlling the PVR (from step 2). Volume commands will now result
in the SHIFT button blinking once and the volume changing on the selected device.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 11

5.2.4 Activating and De-activating Volume Redirect
TV1 and TV2 modes will independently stay in the selected volume redirect or normal state until
changed.

To toggle between volume redirect and normal volume functioning, press the SHIFT button before
pressing a volume button.

While volume redirect is active, the SHIFT button will blink when a volume command is sent,
indicating that the volume command has NOT been sent in the currently selected mode.

When normal volume functioning is active, the mode window will blink when a volume command is
sent, indicating that the volume command has been sent in the currently selected mode.

Note
X Volume redirect is active by default after it has been programmed.
X Volume redirect will be deactivated if the remote control batteries are replaced.
X If SHIFT and then a volume button is pressed without a defined device for volume redirect,
the SHIFT button press will be ignored and normal volume control will be active.

Example
You have programmed volume redirect for the Hi-Fi.
After programming volume redirect, all volume buttons (MUTE, V+ and V-) will be sent to the
Hi-Fi. You will not need to press the SHIFT button first, just the required volume button. The
SHIFT button will blink every time a volume button is being used to confirm that volume redirect is
active.

If you need to change the volume on the PVR, press SHIFT and then a volume button. This will
change the volume on the PVR as well as revert the remote control to normal volume functionality.
Now, each time you press a volume button, the mode window will blink.

To re-activate volume redirect, press SHIFT followed by a volume button.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 12

5.3 Favourite Channels
Quick Programming Summary
Press and hold SHIFT until the mode window blinks 3 times.
Press P+ or P-.
Press the number to which you want to assign the favourite channel shortcut.
Enter the channel number.
Press OK to add another shortcut or HELP to complete the process.

5.3.1 What is this used for?

This feature allows you to create a shortcut for 10 of your favourite channels. Each of the number
buttons on the PVR Remote Control can be configured as a shortcut to your favourite channels.
You can then auto-scan what is showing on your favourite channels, or browse through them using
the P+ / P- buttons. Your favourite channels can be entered in any order and can be added and
changed one-at-a time.

You can then access your favourite channels by pressing SHIFT followed by the assigned number
button. The PVR can also automatically scan through your favourite channels.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 13

5.3.2 Programming Favourite Channels
You can set up favourite channels for each of the viewing environments. The settings for TV1 (red
mode) will not impact TV2 (blue mode) and vice versa, thus allowing you to set up separate
favourite channels for each environment.

1. Next to each number, write down the name and number of the channel for which you wish to
create a shortcut.

Remote Favourites – TV1 (red mode) Favourites – TV2 (blue mode)

control Channel number & name Channel number & name
button

Example

1 36 M-Net Series 21 SuperSport 1

2. Use the dial to select the mode (red for TV1 or blue for TV2) that is used to control the PVR
where you are now.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
4. Press either the P+ or P- button. (The mode window will blink three times to indicate
acceptance).
5. Press the number button that you would like to create the shortcut on. (The mode window
will blink once to indicate acceptance). Note : enter one digit only, ie. for 1, enter 1 and not
01.
6. Now enter the channel number you want to link to the shortcut, eg. 36. The mode window will
blink once for each digit. Then press OK to confirm the channel number. The mode window
will blink twice in quick succession to indicate acceptance.
7. You can now either :
o press HELP to terminate the programming mode and save your changes (the mode
window will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion), OR
o repeat steps 5 and 6 to create additional shortcuts for your favourite channels.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 14

Note
X Changing one favourite channel will not impact the others you have created. For example,
you could change the shortcut on 1 from 36 (M-Net Series) to 35 (kykNET) without impacting
any of the other settings.
X You do not need to set favourite channels in a sequence, ie. you could have favourite
channels linked to 1, 3 and 8 only.

Tip
L If you would like to have the same set of favourite channels in the other TV environment, see
the “Copy Environment” section on page 20.

5.3.3 Using Favourite Channels : Accessing your Favourite Channels directly

To access the favourite channels that you have set up (as above) press SHIFT followed by the
assigned number button (In the example used above, SHIFT 1 would go to the M-Net Series
channel). If no favourite channel shortcut is assigned to that number, the mode window will give
two long blinks and the remote will then return to its normal mode.

5.3.4 Using Favourite Channels : Auto-scanning your Favourite Channels

The PVR is capable of auto-scanning through the favourite channels you have set up. Press
SHIFT and then P+ or P- to initiate a scan of your favourite channels (from 1 – 0). Each “favourite”
channel will display for 9 seconds. To stop on the channel being displayed, press OK or an arrow
button or a Volume button. If you do not stop on any channel, the scanning process will stop after
the 3rd cycle.

5.3.4 Using Favourite Channels : Manual scan of your Favourite Channels

You can also manually control the scanning of your favourite channels.
After initiating the auto-scan as described above, press P+ to go to the next favourite channel or P-
to go to the previous favourite channel. This will stop the display of channels for 9 seconds and
allow you to manually scan through your favourite channels. The remote control will exit the
manual scanning mode if you stay on any channel longer than 20 seconds or if you press any
button other than P+ or P-.

Note
X While the remote control is in “favourite channels” mode, channel change commands are
acknowledged by the SHIFT button blinking once.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 15

5.4 Macros
Quick Programming Summary
Press and hold SHIFT until the mode window blinks 3 times.
Press the WHITE button.
Press the colour button to which you want to assign the macro.
Enter the command sequence.
Press HELP to complete the process.

5.4.1 What is this used for?

A macro is used to store a series of commands that you use regularly, for example : you check the
5-day weather forecast for Cape Town every day.
You can store the commands and then recall them using a macro. Macros are activated by
pressing SHIFT and then the assigned colour button.

Examples are provided for programming macros to navigate the DStv Audio channels as well as
switching on all the equipment used to watch DStv.

5.4.2 Programming Macros

You can set macros for each of the viewing environments. The settings for TV1 (red mode) will not
impact TV2 (blue mode) and vice versa, thus allowing you to set up separate macros for each
environment.

Note
X Macros are stored on colour buttons and accessed by pressing SHIFT followed by the
assigned colour button. As there are 5 colour buttons on the PVR Remote Control, you can
set 5 macros on TV1 (red mode) and another 5 macros on TV2 (blue mode).
X You are only able to use macros in the red and blue modes, ie. macros cannot be activated
on X, Y or Z modes. However, macros may contain commands from these modes, eg. a
command that switches the Hi-Fi on mode Z to digital input.
X Macros are recorded and replayed in real time, ie. if it took 25 seconds to record the
commands in a macro, that macro will take 25 seconds to complete.
X The maximum allowed pause between commands is 20 seconds.
X A macro can include up to 8 commands, ie. you cannot set a macro for something which
takes 9 or more commands to complete.
X Changing the mode on the remote control by turning the dial, is allowed during a macro, but
is counted as 1 command.
X Each button press is counted as 1 command, so SHIFT P+ is counted as 2 commands.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 16

Setting a Macro
1. We recommend that you first test the button sequence you want to record and make a note
of the total number of commands (keeping in mind that a macro can only be recorded for 8 or
fewer commands).

Remote Macro– TV1 (red mode) Macro– TV2 (blue mode)

2. Use the dial to select the mode (red for TV1 or blue for TV2) that is used to control the PVR
where you are now.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
4. Press the WHITE button to indicate that you want to programme a macro. (The mode
window will blink 3 times to indicate acceptance).
5. Press the colour button on which you would like to store the macro. (The mode window will
blink once to indicate acceptance).
6. Record the macro by using the remote control to do the actions you want the macro to
perform. (Tip: check that the steps you are taking are working correctly, ie. if your first step is
to press the MENU button, check that the decoder menu is displayed onscreen).
7. Press HELP to terminate the programming mode and save your macro (the mode window
will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion).
8. Optional step – from normal TV viewing, test that the macro you have just programmed
works correctly by pressing SHIFT and then the relevant colour button.

Note
X If the mode window lights up for 5 seconds, the maximum number of commands (8) has
been exceeded. You can either store what you have recorded by pressing HELP, or
abandon the macro programming by pressing any other button. If no command is received
within 20 seconds, the macro programming will automatically be terminated.
X If you attempt to set a macro in X, Y or Z mode, the mode window will blink twice and the
macro programming will be terminated.
X Macros cannot be nested, ie. a macro cannot contain / “call” another macro (or call itself
again).
X To delete a macro, repeat steps 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 – leaving out step 6. This effectively records
nothing for the macro.
X Once a macro has started, it cannot be exited and the remote control must be left to
complete the macro before it can be used to issue another command.

11. Press the Standby button to switch on the Amp (command 7)
12. Press 3 to switch the Amp to SAT (the assumed DStv input) – (command 8)
13. Press HELP to terminate the programming mode and save your macro (the mode window
will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion).
14. Optional step – from normal TV viewing, test that the macro you have just programmed
works correctly by pressing SHIFT and then the RED button. You can now put the remote
control down (ensure that it has a clear “view” of the PVR so that it can run the macro).

Note
X It is not necessary to turn the dial back to the PVR mode at the end of the macro, because
the start position for the macro is where the remote control will resume when the macro
terminates.

5.6 Code Verification
Quick Programming Summary
Press and hold SHIFT until the mode window blinks 3 times.
Press the YELLOW button.
Press 1 to 5, counting the blinks for each.

5.6.1 What is this used for?

The feature allows you to determine the code for a device that you programmed using the “Step-
and-Set” method (see page 10). This code can then be used in future.

5.6.2 How to verify a code

The device codes for X, Y or Z modes can be verified as follows :

1. Check that the dial is on the mode for which you wish to verify a code (X, Y or Z)
2. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
3. Press the YELLOW button to indicate that you want to verify a code. (The mode window will
blink 3 times to indicate acceptance).
4. Press 1 and count the times the mode window blinks.
5. Press 2 and count the times the mode window blinks.
6. Press 3 and count the times the mode window blinks.
7. Press 4 and count the times the mode window blinks.
8. Press 5 and count the times the mode window blinks.

Note
X The 5 numbers “blinked” are the code.
X No blink indicates a 0 (zero).
X You can only verify codes in modes X, Y or Z. Attempting to verify a code in the TV1 (red
mode) or TV2 (blue mode) will result in the mode window blinking twice and the remote
returning to normal operation.
X If you press digits other than 1 – 5, or press buttons out of sequence, these will be ignored.

5.7 Reset
To reset macros and favourite channels to factory defaults :

1. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
2. Press the YELLOW button. (The mode window will blink 3 times to indicate successful
completion).

Note
X This will effectively delete macros and favourite channels for both TV1 (red mode) and TV2
(blue mode).

8. Troubleshooting

rd
8.1 Close encounters of the 3 blink
This remote control communicates through a blinking mechanism. Once you understand the logic
behind the speed, position, colour and number of blinks, you will understand what the remote
control is “saying”.

Blinking location
Both the mode window and the SHIFT button can “blink”. (See “What’s New” on page 5).
If the SHIFT button is blinking, it means that either SHIFT is active, or the remote is in a special
mode, for example volume redirect or favourite channels. These special modes (see “Advanced
Functionality” from page 9) all adhere to the 20 second timeout rule, so if the remote control is not
behaving as it should, just wait 20 seconds and everything will be restored.

The Colour of Blink

The “colours” of the blink also give you a good indication of which mode is active.

o Red = TV1 environment (1A, 1B, 1C or 1D).

o Blue = TV2 environment (2A, 2B, 2C or 2D).
o Green = programmable mode “X”.
o Black (with only the marked letter blinking) = programmable mode “Y”.
o Purple = programmable mode “Z”.

This allows you to easily recognise the mode without having to actually read the marked letter in
the mode window.

A Blinking Good Time

o Short blinks are good – they indicate that the remote is working correctly.
o Long blinks are bad – they indicate errors. The only exception is if you are in a
programmable mode (X, Y or Z) and you are controlling a device with a really slow command
set. The mode will then give a slow blink when the command is sent – appropriate to the time
taken to send the command.

Note
X If the remote blinks slowly (and there is no reaction from the PVR) when pressing a button in
TV1 (red mode) or TV2 (blue mode), it is possible that the mode is not properly set. Just turn
the dial forward and back again to confirm the dial position and to ensure that is correctly
positioned and check the blink again.

Blinks and more Blinks

o A single blink indicates that a command has been sent. Even in the case mentioned above
where the remote might be between modes, it is still sending an error message to the
decoder.
o Double blinks indicate an error (except when programming favourite channels – see
“Favourite Channels” on page 13)
o (Slow double blinks can only indicate an error)
o A triple blink means Yes! Yes! Yes! and indicates success.

DStv PVR Remote Control Manual Page 55

8.2 Resets

8.2.1 Reset Macros and Favourite Channels

To reset the macros and favourite channels for both environments (they cannot be reset
individually) follow the steps below :

1. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
2. Press the BLUE button. (The mode window will blink 3 times to indicate successful
completion).

Devices programmed on X, Y and Z will not be affected.

8.2.2 Reset all user-programmable Functions

To reset all user-programmable features (macros, favourite channels, volume redirect and devices
programmed on X, Y and Z) follow the steps below :

1. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
2. Enter 981. (The mode window will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion).

8.2.3 Factory Reset (if all else fails)

This will revert the remote control to manufactured defaults.

1. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
2. Enter 977. (The mode window will blink 3 times to indicate successful completion).

Note
X The only difference between resetting all user-programmable functions and the Factory
Reset, is that any software upgrades that might have been done, will also be deleted.
