To turn the receiver on, make sure the remote is in "SAT" mode by pressing the SAT button one time.  After you do this, press the big red power button on the top on the remote, and the receiver should turn on. 

If the remote is not working, make sure it has fresh batteries, and attempt to readdress the remote to the receiver using steps below. To readdress the remote to the receiver, press system info on the front of the receiver - Press record on the remote 2-3 times.  If this does not help, please feel free to email me directly
