HOW TO PROGRAM A DISH NETWORK REMOTE CONTROL TO OTHER DIVICES


PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)
When programming the remote control to operate combination equipment, such as a TV/DVD ora 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 Programming Using the Equipment Code Tables has a step that tells the remote control to go into Limited Mode.  Note: Limited Mode cannot be used with audio amplifiers.
PROGRAMMING USING EQUIPMENT CODE
You can set up the remote control to operate other equipment using the code. 
Procedure:
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 table.  If the brand isn't listed in the tables, see Scanning for Equipment Codes.
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.  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.
4 For AUX mode only. Press 0 for a second TV, or 1 for a second DVD/VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or audio receiver.   This step is for programming the kind of equipment that should be programmed in AUX mode. If you’re not programming in Aux mode, skip to step 5.
5 Enter one of the three-digit equipment codes from the table using buttons on the number pad.  The three-digit equipment code should be for the brand name of your equipment that you found in step 2.
6 If you want to program Limited Mode, press 1.  If not, skip to step 7.
7 Press POUND (#).  If you entered the code correctly, the mode button flashes three times.
8 Press Power to turn off the equipment. If the equipment does not turn off, go to step 10.  If the code you entered works, the equipment should turn off.
9 Turn the equipment back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work. If the code works for other buttons, stop here.  For example, sometimes Power works when other buttons don’t.   Note that more than one code may work to turn equipment on or off.
10 If the code doesn't work, repeat steps 3 through 9 with another equipment code listed.  Try every code listed for your brand until one works for your equipment.
11 If you can’t find a code that works, try the instructions that follow for Scanning for Equipment Codes.
SCANNING.
1 Turn the equipment on.  Use the equipment’s front panel buttons or its own remote control.
2 Press and hold the mode button until all the other mode buttons light up, and then release the button. The mode button flashes.  For example, hold the V mode button for a TV until all of the other mode buttons light. When you let go, TV will flash.
3 For Aux mode only. Press 0 for a second TV, 1 for a second DVD/VCR, or 2 for a tuner, amplifier, or audio receiver. Then press the STAR (*) button.  This step is for programming the kind of equipment that should be programmed in AUX mode.   If you’re not programming in Aux mode, skip to step 4.
4 Press POWER.  This puts your remote control in its code scanning mode.
5 Press either the UP or DOWN ARROW repeatedly until the equipment turns off.  As you press the UPor DOWN ARROW, the remote tries each code in the memory to see if it can turn off your equipment. When the equipment turns off, you have found a code that might work.  Note: The mode button for the equipment will flash rapidly eight times when you've scanned through all the codes for that equipment.
6 Press POUND (#).  The mode button flashes three times if you have entered the code correctly. This stores the code that you found.
7 Turn the equipment back on and try some other buttons to make sure they work.  Press POWER to turn the equipment back on. Try some other buttons to make sure they work.  Sometimes POWER works when other buttons don’t, and more than one code may work to turn equipment on or off.
8 If necessary, repeat this procedure until you've tried all the codes.  You may need to repeat the scan to find the best code for your equipment.
SWITCHING BETWEEN TV AND AMPLIFIER VOLUME CONTROL
When the remote control is set up to operate your TV, the MUTEand VOLUMEbuttons will adjust your TV volume. To use the remote to adjust the volume of a remote-controllable audio receiver or amplifier instead of adjusting the TV’s volume setting, use the steps in the left column of the table. To switch backto controlling the TV’s volume, steps are also given.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE TO CONTROL ASECOND RECEIVER IN AUX MODE
If you have another DISH Network receiver installed, you can use this remote control in AUX mode to operate it along with your new receiver. When you program the remote control to operate the other receiver, the remote will send IR signals to that receiver, so the line of sight to the second receiver must be unobstructed. You can program the remote control to operate any other DISH Network receiver, except for: TV2 on DISH 322, DISH Player-DVR models 522, 625, and 942, ViP222, ViP222k, ViP622 DVR, ViP722 DVR or ViP722k DVR.
Dish Player 7100/7200

2 Press and hold the AUX button until all the mode buttons light up, and then release the button. The AUX button flashes.
3 Use the NUMBER PAD on the remote control to enter a 3, followed by the address you wrote down in step 1.
4 Press POUND (#). The AUX button blinks three times.
5 Press RECORD to verify that the address in the remote control now matches the address for the receiver.
