To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD player, tuner,
amplifier, or DISH Network satellite receiver), 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 82, or the Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan procedure
described on page 83.
Remote Control Modes
Use the remote control’s 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 VCR, a tuner, an audio
amplifier, or a second DISH Network satellite receiver) to set the remote 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
mode.
Limited Mode
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 POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME. Also, when you use the
remote to control your VCR in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use POWER and the
VCR function buttons.
The section Setting Up Using Device Code Tables has a step that tells the remote control
to go into Limited Mode.
Note: Limited Mode is not used with amplifiers.
