CONTROLLING OTHER COMPONENTS

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 50, or the Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan procedure described on page 51.

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

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 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.
