Control Other Devices with the Remote Control
Control Other Devices with the Remote Control
This section describes how to use an IR (or optional IR/UHF Pro) remote
control to control a TV, a VCR, or other devices. For information on how to use
the remote to control the receiver, see Using the Remote Controls on page 37.
You can set up both types of remote controls to control the satellite TV receiver
and as many as three other IR-controlled devices each. These devices can be a
TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device, like an audio amplifier or
receiver.
Where the word “remote” is used in the following section, it applies to both
types of remote controls.
Remote Control Modes
You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or other
devices. When you get the remote it’s already set up to control your receiver.
You must set up the remote to control other devices like a TV or VCR/DVD
player. See Set Up the Remote to Control Other Devices .
Use the remote control’s device 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 second VCR, a DVD player, a tuner/pre-amp, or an audio amplifier) to set
the remote to the correct mode for controling the device. To change this mode,
press the button for the device you want the remote to control. The mode button
lights for a couple of seconds to show that 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 away from satellite programming on your TV or VCR.
When you use the remote to control your TV in limited mode, you will only be
able to use the POWER , MUTE , and VOLUME buttons. Also, when you use
the remote to control your VCR in limited mode, you will only be able to use the
power and VCR -function buttons. The section Setting Up the Remote to Control
Other Devices lists a step that tells the remote control to go into limited mode.
Set Up the Remotes to Control Other Devices
Over the next few pages we tell you how to use the remote to control a TV, a
VCR, a DVD player, a tuner, or an audio amplifier.
To use the remote to control other devices, you must first program it to control
these other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions that
follow in Set Up the Remote Control , or the Scan for Device Codes procedure
described beginning on page 87.
If you are programming the remote to control a combination device, such as a
TV/VCR or a VCR/DVD player, then program the remote control in one device
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 device code for that mode as well.
Tip: The IR remote
control is used to
control the menus
and programming
on the nearby TV.
An optional IR/UHF
Pro remote control
can be used to
control the receiver
from another room.
