Remote Controls
Types of Remote Controls
Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR)
signals to:
• Control TV1 menus for the nearby
TV in Dual Mode.
• Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
IR signals travel only short distances
(40 feet or less), and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
directly at the DISH receiver, with no
objects blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals
to control the receiver and other
devices it is programmed to operate.
This remote control is identified by the
green number 1 at the bottom of the
remote control.
Remote Control 2 uses UHF Pro
signals to:
• Control TV2 menus for the remote
TV(s) in Dual Mode.
• Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
UHF Pro signals travel long distances
and can pass through walls and other
solid objects.
To use Remote Control 2 to control a
DISH receiver, you must attach the
remote control antenna to the receiver
back-panel jack (see page 15).
Remote Control 2 uses IR signals to
operate other devices programmed
into the remote control. You must
point the remote control directly at
these devices, with no objects
blocking the line of sight.
This remote control is identified by the
blue number 2 at the bottom of the
remote control.
