Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I got my HR20-700 yesterday and so far it's working good, I am not getting my 5lnb dish till next weekend though. Anyway the only problem I'm having so far is I can't program my DirecTV remote to work with my Pioneer receiver. I go to the screen to program my remote and do what it says on the screen, I have a code that works but when I do the second part to make the volume work it takes the code 993 I think it was but still my volume won't work. I have it on the AV1 switch at the top when I test it but nothing. I'm just wondering if anyone else is reporting issues like this?

Thanks

Slide the switch to the left... DTV and TV and give it a try.

It doesn't matter what brand of AUD receiver you have, the vol keys never work initially, not until you do the following: There needs to be a TV code programmed to the TV device, or the vol keys won't work. Then:

1. Av1
2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks
3. enter 9-9-3
4. press VOL UP

Nope it's not working. It turns my receiver off and on, but the volume don't work .

If you're using code 30080, then there is nothing you can do, because the vol keys are blank with that code. Use code 31023.

I am using 31023, thats tghe only code that powers on & off my receiver.

And theres a TV code programmed to the TV device?

Well thats odd... my remote works for my receiver now. I didn't do anything. Oh well thanks for the help anyway guys.
