EMOTES
Discrete On and Off IR-only remote-control commands are used by
installers when programming macro commands into universal remotes.
Using an On-only or Off-only command is more effective than a toggle
On/Off command when trying to ensure the satellite receiver is reliably
in one state or the other. To use discrete power commands, ensure you
have set the UHF/IR switch in the remote to
IR only
, as on page 14)
and complete the following:
1
Program the DISH Network remote to the desired remote address
(see
Changing the Remote and Receiver Address
below).
2
Hold the
SAT
mode button until all mode buttons light, then
release the button.
3
Press the
POWER
button (not
TV POWER
).
4
Press
VOLUME UP
for discrete power on, or
VOLUME DOWN
for discrete power off.
5
Press any other button when you are done to end this procedure.

When your remote control sends UHF signals, you may experience
interference from other nearby remote controls. The instructions in this

One quick way to avoid remote-control conflicts is by changing the
address on your remote control and receiver. If you notice that your
receiver is changing channels or opening menus, but you’re not using
the remote control, a quick change of address should fix the problem.
1
Press
SYSTEM INFO
on the receiver's front panel. The
System
Information
screen displays and shows the
Primary Remote
Address
(for TV1, typically using IR) and the
Secondary
Remote Address
(for TV2, typically using UHF).
Write down the TV2 remote address shown:
2
Press and hold
SAT
on your remote control for about three
seconds, until all of the mode buttons light up, and then let go of
SAT
.
3
Add one to the address that you wrote down in step 1, and use the
NUMBER PAD
to enter that number (between 1 and 28).
