This is no isolated incident. Six receivers in the last three days... So it goes like this. Install a reman 322, with any configuration. D500, D1000.2, whatever. Run a check switch. All good, prompt the receiver to take the software download. Everything downloads, and receiver reboots. Then the fun begins:
IR remote address set to RANDOM NUMBER.
UHF remote address set to RANDOM NUMBER.
TV2 output channel set to RANDOM NUMBER.
Quick question: How do you pull up the system information screen when none of the remote controls have the proper address?
Quick answer: YOU CAN'T. YOUR SCREWED.
Oh, I could (and I did) take the time to try EVERY POSSIBLE CODE (36 possible codes). But sometimes, THIS STILL DOES NOT WORK. And the 322 itself is actually working "fine" : you can still change channels using the up/down buttons on the front panel. I'm forced to replace the receiver, and play 322 russian roulette all over again. Once I found IR code changed to 15. Once both IR and UHF were on 9. Once, they BOTH didn't respond. Once, they both were still on 1, but the TV2 output was on 75 cable. Once, the IR and UHF were both 12.
Has anyone else experienced this? More importantly, does anyone have a solution? Such as, a secret way to pull up the system info screen without a remote control?
