• numbness, or a burning or tingling sensation
• aching, soreness or tenderness

The following section provides tips for more comfortable computer use.

• take short rests to relax your neck and shoulders

DSR 305 Digital Satellite Receiver User Guide

DSR 305 Digital Satellite Receiver User Guide

Your remote control’s appearance may vary, and some of the following descriptions may not apply to it. Different remote models can control the following different combinations of equipment:
• Receiver and TV
• Receiver, TV, and VCR
• Receiver, TV, VCR and auxiliary equipment.

A Word About Modes. To enable the remote control to operate your receiver, your TV, and your VCR, it may have as many as four main modes of operation: SAT mode, TV mode, VCR mode and AUX mode. This means that when you press the SAT, TV, VCR or AUX keys on the remote control, you enable it to control each of these devices, one at a time. Naturally, some of the remote control keys have more than one function, depending upon which mode you are using at the time. Keep this in mind as you read the descriptions for each remote control key. Also keep in mind that some SAT functions are available only within SAT mode. Among these special functions are access to the menus through the OPTIONS key, use of the Interactive Program Guide (IPG) through the GUIDE key, and the ability to select a satellite by using the SAT key.

If You Misplace the Remote Control. If you ever misplace the remote control and need to use the various menus, just press the MENU key on the Front Panel and a special Menu screen will appear. This feature is only available on certain models in the 400 Series IRD.
