If you program the remote control to operate other equipment, refer to
the following for remote-control operation instructions:
• TVs, page C-8.
• DVD players and VCRs, page C-9.
• Other DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-7.
• Stereo equipment (for example, an audio amplifier programmed
in AUX mode) uses only these buttons: SELECT (to change
inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.
HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES
Depending on how the remote is set up, the remote control may use
UHF radio signals, IR signals, or both to control the receiver. However,
only IR signals are used to control other equipment.
• IR signals travel short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote control
directly at the equipment you want to control, with no objects to
block the signal path.
• UHF signals travel long distances and can go through walls and
other solid objects. Because these signals travel so far, the
receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote
controls. To handle this problem, you may want to change the
remote and receiver addresses (see page 13).
• If you’re set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote
antenna is attached to the receiver’s back panel R

PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT
Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote control to operate a
TV. The following section uses a different method to program the
remote control to operate a TV or other equipment (such as a DVD
player or VCR, tuner, amplifier, audio receiver or a second TV). You
can program the remote control by either following the instructions in
Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3, or the
Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 5.
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)
When programming the remote control to operate combination
equipment, such as a TV/DVD or a TV/VCR, program the remote
control in one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode.
For example, to program the remote control to operate a TV/DVD
