Controlling Other Components
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 TV 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.

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 VCR you
control with the remote in TV, VCR, or AUX mode. Here’s a simple way to turn Limited
Mode on and off anytime:
1Press and hold the mode button (for example, TV) until all of the mode buttons light.
Release the mode button.
2Press:
•PAGE UP to turn Limited Mode on.
•PAGE DOWN to turn Limited Mode off.
3Press POUND.
Note: Limited Mode is not used with amplifiers.
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 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.
