Controlling Other Components
To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, tuner, amplifier, or
DISH Network satellite 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 76, or
the Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan procedure described on page 77.
Remote Control Modes
Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV (for a TV), VCR (for a VCR or
a DVD player), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a second TV, a VCR, a tuner, an 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 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 with amplifiers.
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 code 748, follow the instructions to
program the remote to control the TV using code 748, and then repeat the instructions for the VCR
using the same code.
