CONTROLLING OTHER COMPONENTS
To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR or DVD/Blu-ray Disc™
player, tuner, amplifier, or a second DISH receiver), you must first program it to control
these other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in Setting Up
Using Device Code Tables on page 79, or the Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan
procedure described on
page 80.
Remote Control Modes
Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV (for a TV), DVD (for a
VCR or a DVD/Blu-ray Disc™ player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a second TV, a VCR, a
tuner, an audio amplifier, or a second DISH 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 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 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 if an audio amplifier is programmed on the AUX button.
SAT Auto-Tune
Most snowy, blue, or black screen issues occur because the TV is set to the wrong
channel. Using the SAT Auto-Tune feature helps prevent that issue from occurring on TVs
connected to the receiver’s modulated (coaxial) output. Use SAT Auto-Tune to program
the correct TV channel for satellite viewing into the DISH remote control. When the SAT
button is pressed, the remote sends the programmed channel to the TV.
This feature is enabled by default; however, if you want to use this feature, the channel
must be programmed by following these steps.
