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.
