DISCRETE CODES FOR LEARNING REMOTES
Remote control discrete On and Off IR commands are used by
installers when programming macr o commands into universal re motes.
Using an On-only or Off-only command is more ef fective than a toggle
On/Off comma nd when trying to ensure the satellite re ceiver is reliably
in one state or the other. To use discrete power commands, complete
the following:
1Program the DISH Network remote to desired remote address (see
Changing the Remote and Receiver Address below).
2Hold the SAT mode button until all mode buttons light, then
release.
3Press POWER (not TV POWER).
4Press VOLUME UP for discrete power on or VOLUME DOWN
for discrete power off.
5Press any other button when done to end this procedure.
CHANGING THE REMOTE AND RECEIVER ADDRESS
One quick way to avoid remote conflicts is by changing the address on
your remote and receiver. If you notice that your receiver is changing
channels or opening menus but you’re not using the remote control, a
quick change of address should fix the problem.
1Press SYSTEM INFO on the receiver's front panel. The System
Info screen displays and shows the Remote Address.
Write down the address shown:
Note: If you aren’t sure how to access the System Info screen or
if there isn’t a SYSTEM INFO button on the front panel of your
receiver, check your receiver’s User Guide.
2Press and hold SAT on your remote control for about three
seconds, until all of the mode buttons light up, and then let go of
SAT.
3Use the NUMBER PAD to enter any number between 1 and 16,
but not the one you wrote in step 1.
4Press the POUND (#) on your remote (the SAT button flashes
three times). Write down the number you entered in the space
provided on the inside back cover.
