Dish Network 6.3 manual How The Remote Communicates, Programming For Other Equipment

Page 14

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

TVs, page C-8.

VCRs and DVD players, page C-9.

DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-7.

Stereo equipment, use only these buttons: SELECT (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 9).

If you’re set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote antenna is attached to the receiver’s back panel UHF Remote Antenna input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.

PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT

Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote to control a TV. This section uses a different method to program the remote to control a TV or other equipment (such as a VCR, DVD player, tuner, amplifier, or a second TV). You can program the remote by either following the instructions in Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3, or the Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 4.

COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/VCR)

When programming the remote to control combination equipment, 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.
