HR20-700 RC23 Remote Control question (volume)

[jselinger24]

This may be a stupid question, but I was wondering if there is a way to set the volume control default to an AV receiver and not the TV?

I know you can slide over to AV1 to change the volume but (and I may be somewhat lazy here) but I want to be able to change the volume on my AV receiver without sliding the toggle switch over.

Any help would be great! Thanks.

Yes there is.
I believe it's covered in the manual.
The on-screen setup will guide you through the setup.

You may have already programmed your remote control during Guided Setup, but if you didn’t, or you
want to make changes, or you’ve acquired some new equipment, follow these instructions. You can program
the DIRECTV Remote Control to operate your TV power, volume and mute, additional equipment
such as a DVD, VCR, stereo, or second TV or DIRECTV Receiver.
1) Press MENU to display the Quick Menu.
2) Highlight Settings and press SELECT.
3) Highlight Setup and press SELECT.
4) Press SELECT on Remote in the left menu.
5) Follow the onscreen instructions to program your remote for your TV or additional equipment
(AV1 and AV2).
Once your remote is programmed to work with your TV, the VOL and MUTE key control the TV
regardless of the MODE slide switch position. If you would like to change the VOL and MUTE to work
with other audio equipment, such as a stereo, you can. When you program the remote for the audio
equipment, onscreen instructions will direct you on how to do this.
