These instructions help you improve your remote control settings to best operate your new
satellite receiver.
Changing the Address for Remote Control 2
Because UHF signals travel long distances and can pass through walls, a neighbor’s
remote may be able control your receiver by mistake. To keep this from happening, you
can change the remote-control address. You can also use these instructions to change the
address for Remote Control 1, if needed (for example, for multiple receivers in a room).
1
Press SYSTEM INFO on the receiver's front panel. The System Information screen
displays on the nearby TV and shows the Remote Address.
Write down the Secondary Remote Address:
If changing the address for Remote Control 1,
then write down the Primary Remote Address here:
2
Press and hold the SAT mode button on your remote control for about three seconds, until
all of the mode buttons light up, and then release the SAT button.
3
Use the NUMBER PAD to enter a number between 1 and 28, but not the one you wrote in
step 1. Odd-numbered TV2 remote addresses use UHF Pro Band A; even-numbered
addresses use UHF Pro Band B. If you have two UHF Pro remotes in your house, then
ensure one uses an odd address and the other an even address. If you have more than
two DISH remotes, then consult the SYSTEM INFO screen for each receiver and ensure
that each of the IR/UHF Pro remotes in your house uses a unique address.
4
Press POUND (#). If you entered the address correctly, then SAT will flash three times.
Write down the number you entered:
5
Press RECORD. Make sure that the Remote Address you see on the System Information
screen is the same as the one you entered in step 3. If it isn’t, then press RECORD again,
because the remote cannot control the receiver unless the address shown is the same.
6
Press the SELECT button to close the System Information screen.
