EVICES
To use the remote control to operate other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player,
tuner, amplifier, or DISH Network satellite receiver), you must first program it to operate
these other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in
Setting Up
Using Device Code Tables
on page 67, or the
Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan
procedure described on page 68.
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 to the correct
mode for the device. To change the mode, press the button for the device you want the
remote to operate. 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 and causing a snowy or blue screen. When the remote
control is in Limited Mode for TV mode, you will only be able to use POWER, MUTE, and
VOLUME functions for your TV. When the remote control is in Limited Mode for VCR
mode, you will only be able to use POWER and the VCR functions for your VCR.
Note
: Limited Mode is not used with amplifiers.

Combination Devices
If you are programming the remote to operate 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.
