REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

Use this full-function remote to control your High Definition DISH Network receiver. Also, you can program the remot e to control most of the popular brands of audio/video equipment like a TV, VCR, DVD player, or a second DISH Network satellite receiver. See Programming for Other Equipment on page 2.

Note: This remote control may have features not used by your receiver.

USING THE GUIDE

This guide makes it easy to set up and use your remote control. By now you’ve noticed that the cover contains information on quick set up and remote operation.

The rest of the guide contains in-depth information to help you get the most from your remote control, including controlling other equipment like TVs, VCRs, and DVD players.

REMOTE CONTROL MODES

Use the remote control’s mode buttons to set the remote to the correct mode for the equipment. Be sure to program the remote to control other equipment as described on page 2.

Great Idea: Whenever you finish using other equipment (TV, VCR, DVD, etc.) be sure to put the remote back in SAT mode.

To change the mode, press the button for the equipment you want to control. The mode button lights for two seconds to show you’ve set the remote to that mode.

If you program the remote to control other equipment, refer to the following for remote control operation instructions:

• TVs, page S-5.

• VCRs and DVD players, page S-6.

• DISH Network satellite receivers, page S-4.

• Stereo equipment use only these buttons: SELECT (change

inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.

HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES

This remote uses IR signals to control the receiver and other equipment.

IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote control right at the equipment you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.

PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT

Page S-2 shows you how to program the remote to control a TV. This section uses a different method to program the remote to control a TV or other equipment (such as a VCR, DVD player, tuner, amplifier, or a second TV). You can program the remote by either following the instructions in Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3, or the Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 4.

COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/VCR)

When programming the remote to control combination equipment, 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. Put the remote in TV mode to use the TV, and VCR mode to use the VCR.

LIMITED MODE

You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from accidentally changing the channel 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 to control your TV. Also, when you use the remote to control your VCR in Limited Mode,
