text_dishpvr.fm Page 2 Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:04 AM REMOTE CONTROL BASICS This remote control gives you easy access to all the features of a DISH Network satellite TV receiver and lets you control PVR features of a DISH Network DishPVR satellite receiver. These PVR features let you record programming with full digital quality, without a VCR. You can set up the remote to control the satellite TV receiver and up three other devices. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.
text_dishpvr.fm Page 3 Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:04 AM R EMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS: UHF AND IR The remote control uses both Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio signals and Infrared (IR) light signals to control the receiver but uses only IR signals to control other devices. • IR signals travel only short distances (40 feet or less), and can’t go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control right at the device you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.
text_dishpvr.fm Page 4 Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:04 AM INSTALL AN A TTENUATOR Stray UHF signals can block signals from the remote control to the receiver. To prevent blocks, you can install a 10 dB attenuator (you can buy one from a consumer electronics parts store). Note: This will help keep out stray UHF signals, but also cut down how far away you can use the remote control. 1. Take the UHF antenna off of the receiver’s back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input. 2.

text_dishpvr.fm Page 9 Tuesday, January 28, 2003 8:04 AM For AUX mode, the first group of flashes tells you what the AUX mode controls. A quick flash (zero) before the three-digit code is for a TV; one regular flash is for a VCR; and two flashes is for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. For example, if the TV code is 570, the AUX mode button flashes once quickly, pauses, flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times, pauses, and flashes once quickly.
