Remote control use and manuals for XPS 8300

I am trying to understand how to use the buttons on the remote control that was shipped with my XPS 8300, but the manual for my remote is not on the Dell website. My order shows an Item Number of 320-8422. I think the model # is RC1974009/00 Win 7 although the labeling is unclear.

Specifically, I am trying to find a back to/last channel button on the remote (or alternately, on the keyboard) while using the Windows Media Center.

    There is no "previous channel" button that I've ever been able to figure out. I've since given up using the Dell remote and have found life simpler if I just use my STB remote.

    BTW, accidentally discovered that the Enter key on my keyboard does back to/last channel. However, still looking for a manual that describes other shortcuts. Too bad the remote does not offer this key and standard feature.

    I don't see anything in your manual specific to use of the remote.

    Hi,

    I do have the same remote. I do use it with my inspiron 1420. It does come with USB receiver. I could control Media center & WMA. However I tried with HP laptop. It didn't work. I think It is compatible with dell specific models only. At the moment I don't have manual with me.
