HOW TO PROGRAM A DISH NETWORK REMOTE CONTROL TO OTHER DIVICES
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR
EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)
When programming the remote
control to operate combination equipment, such as a TV/DVD ora 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 player using code
765, follow the instructions to program the remote to operate the TV using code
765, and then repeat the instructions for the DVD using the same code. Put the
remote in TV mode to use TV functions, or DVD mode to use the DVD player (or VCR)
functions.
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 control to operate your TV in Limited Mode,
you will only be able to use the POWER, MUTE, and Volume buttons to operate your
TV. Also, when you use the remote control to operate your VCR in Limited Mode,
you will only be able to use the Power and VCR function buttons. The section
Programming Using the Equipment Code Tables has a step that tells the remote
control to go into Limited Mode. Note:
Limited Mode cannot be used with audio amplifiers.
PROGRAMMING USING EQUIPMENT CODE
You can set up the remote control
to operate other equipment using the code.
Procedure:
1 Turn the equipment on. Use the equipment’s front panel buttons or
its own remote control.
2 Find the brand name of the equipment
listed in the code table. If the brand
isn't listed in the tables, see Scanning for Equipment Codes.
3 Press and hold the mode button
for the equipment until all the other mode buttons light up, and then release
the button. The mode button flashes. For
example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons
light. When you let go, the TV mode button will be flashing.
4
For AUX mode only. Press 0 for
a second TV, or 1 for a second DVD/VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or
audio receiver. This step is for programming the kind of
equipment that should be programmed in AUX mode. If you’re not
programming in
Aux mode, skip to step 5.
5 Enter one of the three-digit equipment
codes from the table using buttons on the number pad. The three-digit equipment code should be for
the brand name of your equipment that you found in step 2.
6 If you want to program Limited
Mode, press 1. If not, skip to step 7.
7 Press POUND (#). If you entered the code correctly, the mode
button flashes three times.
8 Press Power to turn off the
equipment. If the equipment does not turn off, go to step 10. If the code you entered works, the equipment
should turn off.
9 Turn the equipment back on and
try some other buttons to make sure they work. If the code works for other
buttons, stop here. For example,
sometimes Power works when other buttons don’t.
Note that more than one code may
work to turn equipment on or off.
10 If the code doesn't work, repeat
steps 3 through 9 with another equipment code listed. Try every code listed for your brand until
one works for your equipment.
11 If you can’t find a code that works,
try the instructions that follow for Scanning for Equipment Codes.
SCANNING.
1 Turn the equipment on. Use the equipment’s front panel buttons or
its own remote control.

button flashes. For example, hold the V mode
button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons light. When you let go,
TV will flash.
3 For Aux mode only. Press 0 for a
second TV, 1 for a second DVD/VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or audio receiver.
Then press the STAR (*) button. This
step is for programming the kind of equipment that should be programmed in AUX mode. If
you’re not programming in Aux mode, skip to step 4.
4 Press POWER. This puts your remote control in its code
scanning mode.
5 Press either the UP or DOWN
ARROW repeatedly until the equipment turns off.
As you press the UPor DOWN ARROW, the remote tries each code in the memory
to see if it can turn off your equipment. When the equipment turns off, you
have found a code that might work. Note:
The mode button for the equipment will flash rapidly eight times when you've scanned
through all the codes for that equipment.
6 Press POUND (#). The mode button flashes three times if you
have entered the code correctly. This stores the code that you found.

try some other buttons to make sure they work.
Press POWER to turn the equipment back on. Try some other buttons to
make sure they work. Sometimes POWER works
when other buttons don’t, and more than one code may work to turn equipment on or
off.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TO CONTROL
ASECOND RECEIVER IN AUX MODE
If you have another DISH Network
receiver installed, you can use this remote control in AUX mode to operate it
along with your new receiver. When you program the remote control to operate
the other receiver, the remote will send IR signals to that receiver, so the
line of sight to the second receiver must be unobstructed. You can program the remote
control to operate any other DISH Network receiver, except for: TV2 on DISH
322, DISH Player-DVR models 522, 625, and 942, ViP222, ViP222k, ViP622 DVR,
ViP722 DVR or ViP722k DVR.
