LEARNING FROM ANOTHER DEVICE’S REMOTE
After you have programmed your DISH Network remote to control
your equipment (in TV, DVD or AUX modes), you may find not all of
the commands used by the equipment’s original remote controls
function as you expect. The learning function of your DISH Network
remote control can support these commands.
The remote control can learn commands in two ways:
1 You can follow the instructions for using equipment codes to
program a specific mode, and then learn commands that add new
or overwrite existing functions of the remote control’s buttons in
this mode. For this type of learning, any button without a learned
command keeps the previous command (if any) for that
equipment code.
2 Each button on this remote learns a command from the
equipment’s original remote control. For this type of learning, any
button without a learned command will have no function for that
equipment.
To “teach” your DISH Network remote control specific commands for
your equipment, complete the following:
1 Ensure the DISH Network remote control is programmed to the
desired remote address (see Changing the Remote and Receiver
Address on page 13).
2 Place both your DISH Network remote and the original
equipment’s remote control on a flat, stable surface.
3 On the DISH Network remote, press and hold the mode button for
your equipment for about three seconds until all the mode buttons
light up, and then release it. Your selected mode button will blink.
4 To start learning commands for this mode:
• If you've found a code for that equipment, first program the
code using the instructions for Programming Using
Equipment Code Tables on page 3 or Scanning for Equipment
Codes on page 5. Press and release RECALL, then hold the
RECORD button for about three seconds until the mode
button is lit again. The button remains lit while learning.
• If you have not programmed a code for that equipment, press
and hold the RECORD button for about three seconds until
the mode button is lit. The button remains lit while learning.
