Controlling Other Components
Setting Up by Learning from Another Remote
After you have programmed your DISH Network remote to control your devices (in TV, DVD or AUX modes), you may find not all of the commands used by the devices’ original remote controls function as you expect. The learning function of your DISH Network remote control can support these commands.
The remote control can learn commands in two ways:
1You can follow the instructions for using device codes to program a specific mode, and then learn commands that add new or overwrite existing functions of the remote control’s buttons in this mode. For this type of learning, any button without a learned command keeps the previous command (if any) for that device code.
2Each button on this remote learns a command from the equipment’s original remote control. For this type of learning, any button without a learned command will have no function for that device.
To “teach” your DISH Network remote control specific commands for your devices, complete the following:
Instructions | Additional Information |
1Ensure the the desired remote address is programmed to the DISH Network remote.
2Place both your DISH Network remote and the original equipment’s remote control on a flat, stable surface.
3On the DISH Network remote, press and hold the mode button for your equipment for about three seconds until all the mode buttons light up, and then release it.
See Checking the Remote Control Address on page 73.
Holding either remote control in your hand may cause learning to fail.
Your selected mode button will blink.
