Controlling Other Components
Remote Control Modes
Use the remote control’s mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV (for a TV), DVD (for a
a DVD player or VCR), and AUX (“auxiliary,” for a second TV, DVD/VCR, tuner, audio
amplifier, or a second DISH Network satellite receiver) to set the remote control to the right
mode for the device. To change the mode, press the button for the device you want the
remote to control. The mode button lights for two seconds to show you’ve set the remote
to that device mode.
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. Also, when
you use the remote to control your VCR (using the button for DVD and/or AUX devices) in
Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR function buttons.
Turning Limited Mode On and Off
The section Setting Up Using Device Code Tables has a step that tells the remote control
to go into Limited Mode. You can use this feature to limit the functions of a TV or a VCR
that you control with the remote in TV, VCR, or AUX device mode. Here’s a simple way to
turn Limited Mode on and off at any time:
1
Press and hold the device mode button (for example, TV) for about three seconds until all
of the mode buttons light, and then release the mode button.
2
Press one of the following remote buttons:
• PAGE UP to turn Limited Mode on.
• PAGE DOWN to turn Limited Mode off.
3
Press POUND (#).
Note: Limited Mode is not used with audio amplifiers programmed on the AUX button.
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 codes 622
and 815, follow the instructions to program the remote to control the TV using code 622,
and then repeat the instructions for programming to control the VCR using code 815.
