REMOTE CONTROL BASICS

This remote control gives you easy access to all the features of a DISH Network satellite TV receiver. You can set up the remote to control the satellite TV receiver and up to three other devices. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.

MODELS SUPPORTED BY THIS GUIDE

This user’s guide supports the following remote control models as shown on the label on the back of the remote:

• 5.0 - Infrared (IR) only. For use with appropriate IR-controlled

DISH Network receivers.

• 6.0 - Infrared/Ultra-High Frequency Pro (IR/UHF Pro). For use

with appropriate UHF Pro-controlled DISH Network receivers. The 6.0 remote can be converted to one of three different remote types used on a DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver:

With the blue 2 UHF Pro key installed, this remote will operate the UHF Pro side of the DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver. The remote comes with this key already installed.

With the green 1 key installed (no UHF Pro marking), this remote will operate the IR side of the DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver. This remote will look and work exactly like a 5.0 IR remote. See instructions in Converting the 6.0 Remote.

With the green 1 UHF Pro key installed, this remote will operate the side of the DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver from a distance using UHF Pro. See instructions in Converting the 6.0 Remote.

If you set up your DISH Player-DVR 522 to operate the

side using UHF Pro, the two UHF Pro remotes for this receiver will interfere with each other when operated at the same time. This may prevent the remotes from operating the receiver momentarily.

• 8.0 - Infrared/Ultra-High Frequency Pro (IR/UHF Pro). For use

with appropriate UHF Pro-controlled DISH Network receivers.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

The remote control requires AAA batteries. When you replace old batteries, you should replace all of the batteries. Use batteries of the same kind, for example, alkaline or carbon zinc, and don’t mix batteries of different kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer.

1. Press down on the battery cover and slide the cover off.

2. If you are replacing batteries, take out all of the old batteries.

3. Put the new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the plus markings on the battery case.

4. Slide the cover back into place.

UHF AND IR SIGNALS

The remote control may use either UHF radio signals or IR light signals to control the receiver but uses only IR signals to control other devices.

• IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet),

and cannot go through walls or other solid objects. You must point the remote control right at the device you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.

• UHF signals travel long distances (up to 200 feet) and can

go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF 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 Setting Up to Control the Satellite Receiver on page 4.

• Confirm that the UHF remote antenna is attached to the receiver’s back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use your UHF Pro remote.

CONVERTING THE 6.0 REMOTE CONTROL

By replacing the key at the bottom of the 6.0 remote, this remote can be converted to look and work like a 5.0 IR or to operate like a second UHF Pro remote to control the side of the DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver. The instructions that follow show you how to replace this key. After replacing the key, follow the instructions in Setting Up to Control the Satellite Receiver.

Note: If you do not need to replace the key, you do not need to complete the instructions that follow. Go to Setting Up to Control the Satellite Receiver.

1. Slide the battery cover off.

2. Insert your thumbnail in the seam between the remote control and the blue 2 key to separate the key from the remote control.

3. Grasp the key at the bottom and pull down firmly to remove.

4. If you are converting the remote to look and work like a 5.0 IR remote, then turn the removed key over with the green 1 side up (this key should not have a UHF Pro marking). Reinstall the key with the green side showing. Make sure the key snaps in place.

Note: Key has no Pro marking.

5. If you are converting the remote to operate like a second UHF Pro remote to control the side of the DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver, then get the green 1 UHF Pro key provided separately. Install this key in the remote with the UHF Pro marking showing.

Note: Key has the UHF Pro marking.

If you set up your DISH Player-DVR 522 to operate the side using UHF Pro, the two UHF Pro remotes for this receiver will interfere with each other when operated at the same time. This may prevent the remotes from operating the receiver momentarily.

6. If you have not already installed batteries, install them now. See Installing Batteries for further details.

7. Slide the battery cover back into place.

SETTING UP TO CONTROL THE SATELLITE R

ECEIVER

The remote and the receiver must be set up on the same address so that the remote can control the receiver. When you get the remote, it's already set up to control the receiver on address 1. However, your receiver may be set to a different address or, in the case of the DISH Player-DVR 522, may need some additional setup. To set up the remote and receiver to work together on the same address, use the following instructions.

text_dishpvr.fm Page 6 Tuesday, March 2, 2004 12:35 PM

1. For DISH Player-DVR 522 receivers only: If you are using a 6.0 remote control with the green 1 UHF Pro key installed, perform the steps a. through e. below. If not, then go to step 2.

a. Open the TV1 UHF Pro Setup screen by pressing

MENU-6-1-6 on the remote control.

b. Select Enable from the TV1 UHF Pro Setup screen. c. Press the SYS INFO button on the front panel to open the

System Information screen.

d. Move the highlight to the address for the Primary Remote

Address as shown below. This is important - if you do not do this, your remote will change the receiver's Secondary Remote Address and cause your Remote Control 1 to control the side of your receiver.

Note: Highlight the Primary

Remote Address if you

are using a 6.0 remote with a green 1 UHF Pro key.

Do not do this step if you are using 6.0 Remote with blue 2 key. This will cause your Remote Control 2 to control side of your receiver.

e. Go to step 3 below.

2. Open the System Information screen. Consult your receiver user's guide for instructions on how to open this screen without using the remote control. For most receiver models which use this remote, press the SYS INFO button on the receiver front panel. The System Information screen will show either one

Remote Address, or it may show a Primary Remote Address and a Secondary Remote Address.

Note: On the DISH Player-DVR 522, leave Done highlighted.

3. Press and hold the SAT mode button about three seconds, until all the mode buttons light up, and then let go of the SAT button. The SAT mode button will blink.

text_dishpvr.fm Page 7 Tuesday, March 2, 2004 12:35 PM

4. Use the number buttons to enter any number from 1 to 16. The SAT mode button goes out after you enter each digit, and then lights up again.

Write down the number you entered:

5. Press the POUND (#) button. If you entered the address correctly, the SAT mode button will flash three times.

6. Press the RECORD button. If you are using a 6.0 remote with the green 1 key (no UHF Pro marking), you must point the remote control at the receiver while pressing the RECORD button.

7. Make sure the System Information screen shows the correct remote address as follows:

• If only one Remote Address is shown, make sure this

address matches the number you entered in step 5.

• If you are using 6.0 remote with the green 1 UHF Pro key,

make sure that the Primary Remote Address shows UHF Pro and IR and that this address matches the number you entered in step 4.

• If you are using 6.0 remote with the green 1 key (with no

UHF Pro marking), make sure that the Primary Remote Address shows IR and that this address matches the number you entered in step 4.

• If you are using 6.0 remote with the blue 2 UHF Pro key,

make sure that the Secondary Remote Address matches the number you entered in step 4.

8. Close the System Information screen. On most receivers, this is done by selecting the Done button. See your receiver user's guide for more information.

CHECKING THE REMOTE ADDRESS

To read out the remote control address setting:

1. Press and hold the SAT mode button for three seconds until all mode buttons light. Then, let go.

2. Press the POUND (#) button twice while watching the SAT mode button.

3. Count the number of times the SAT mode button flashes. This number is the remote address. For example, if the SAT mode button flashes 6 times, this indicates the remote address is set to 6.

SETTING UP TO CONTROL OTHER DEVICES

To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, tuner, or amplifier), you must first program it to control these other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in

Setting Up Using Device Code Tables on page 9, or the Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan procedure described on page 10.

COMBINATION DEVICES

If you are programming the remote to control 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.

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, you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR function buttons. The section Setting Up Using Device Codes Tables has a step that tells the remote control to go into Limited Mode.

Note: Limited Mode can not be used with audio amplifiers.
