REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

Great Idea: Whenever you finish using

other equipment (TV, DVD, VCR, etc.) be sure to put the remote back in SA T mode.

Use this full-function remote control to operate the ViP®722k DVR and ViP222k DISH Network receivers. Also, you can program the remote control to operate most of the popular brands of audio/video equipment like a TV, a DVD player (or VCR), 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 remo te control. By now you’ve noticed that the cover contains information on quick set up and remote control 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 control to operate the other equipment as described on page 2.

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

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

• TVs, page C-8.

• DVD players and VCRs, page C-9.

• Other DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-7.

• Stereo equipment (for example, an audio amplifier programmed

in AUX mode) uses only these buttons: SELECT (to change inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.

HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES

Depending on how the remote is set up, the remote control may use UHF radio signals, IR signals, or both to control the receiver . However , only IR signals are used to control other equipment.

• IR signals travel short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot go

through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote control directly at the equipment you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.

• UHF signals travel long distances and can go through walls and

other solid objects. Because these signals travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote controls. To handle this problem, you may want to change the remote and receiver addresses (see page 13).

• If you’re set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote

antenna is attached to the recei v er’s back panel R

NTENNA input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.

PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT

Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote control to operate a TV. The following section uses a different method to program the remote control to operate a TV or other equipment (such as a DVD player or VCR, tuner, amplifier, audio receiver or a second TV). You can program the remote control by either following the instructions in

Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3, or the Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 5.

COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)

When programming the remote control to operate combination equipment, such as a TV/DVD or a TV/VCR, program the remote control in one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode. For example, to program the remote control to operate a TV/DVD

player using code 765, follow the instructions to program the remote to operate the TV using code 765, and then repeat the instructions for the DVD using the same code. Put the remote in TV mode to use TV functions, or DVD mode to use the DVD player (or VCR) functions.

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 control to operate your TV in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons to operate your TV. Also, when you use the remote control to operate your VCR in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR function buttons. The section Pr ogramming Using the Equipment Code Tables has a step that tells the remote control to go into L imite d Mode. Also, a quick way to put the remote in Limited Mode is described on page C-6.

Note: Limited Mode cannot be used with audio amplifi ers.

PROGRAMMING USING EQUIPMENT CODE TABLES

You can set up the remote control to operate other equipment using the code-table listings that start on page 17 and the modes as shown on page 1. To control a receiver in AUX mode, see page 7.

Instructions Additional Information

1 Turn the equipment on. Use the equipment’ s front panel

buttons or its own remote control.

2 Find the brand name of the

equipment listed in the code tables that start on page 17.

3 Press and hold the mode

button for the equipment until all the other mode buttons light up, and then release the button. The mode button flashes.

If the brand isn’t listed in the tables, see Scanning for Equipment Codes on page 5.

For example, hold the TV mode button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons light. When you let go, the TV mode button will be flashing.
