CONTROLLING OTHER COMPONENTS
To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, DVD player, VCR, tuner,
amplifier, or other DISH Network satellite receiver), you must first program it to control
these devices. You can do this by any of the following procedures:
• Setting Up Using Device Code Tables on page 77
• Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan on page 78
• Setting Up by Learning from Another Remote on page 80
• Using the System Wizard on page 82.
Remote Control Modes
Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV (for a TV), DVD (for a
a DVD player or VCR), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a second TV, DVD/VCR, tuner, audio
amplifier, or a second DISH Network satellite receiver) to set the remote control to the right
mode for the device. To change the mode, press the button for the device you want the
remote to control. The mode button lights for two seconds to show you’ve set the remote
to that mode.
Limited Mode
You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from accidentally changing
the channel on your TV or VCR. When you use the remote to control your TV in Limited
Mode, you will only be able to use POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME. Also, when you use the
remote to control your VCR (using the button for DVD and/or AUX devices) in Limited
Mode, you will only be able to use POWER and the VCR function buttons.
Turning Limited Mode On and Off
1 Press and hold the device mode button (for example, TV) until all of the mode buttons
light. Release the mode button.
2 Press:
• PAGE UP to turn Limited Mode on.
• PAGE DOWN to turn Limited Mode off.
3 Press POUND.
Note: Limited Mode is not used with amplifiers programmed on the AUX button.
Combination Devices
If you are programming the remote to control a combination device, such as a TV/VCR or
a TV/DVD, program the remote control in one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the
other mode. For example, to program the remote to control a TV/VCR using codes
622 815, follow the instructions to program the remote to control the TV using code 622,
and then repeat the instructions for programming to control the VCR using code 815.
