Using the System
Inactivity Standby
If your receiver is on for a preset period of time without any activity (for
example, no channel changes), the Inactivity Standby feature turns off the
receiver so that you’ll always have the latest Program Guide and DISH On
Demand (when available). Enabling this feature (recommended) also improves
the reliability of your receiver. To change the settings for this feature, complete
the following:
1. Press the MENU-8-8 to open the Inactivity Standby screen.
2. Highlight Activation and use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to
switch between Enabled and Disabled.
3. Highlight Inactivity Duration and use the UP and DOWN ARROW
buttons to select the amount of time the receiver waits before turning off.
4. Select Done.
Note: Select Defaults to reset the changes you’ve made to this feature.
Control Other Devices with the Remote Controls
This section describes how to use Remote Control 1 or Remote Control 2 to
control with a TV, a VCR, or other devices. For information on how to use the
remote to control the receiver, see Using the Remote Controls on page 49. You
can set up both remote controls to control the satellite TV receiver and up three
other devices each. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a
third device.
Where the word remote is used in the following section, it applies to both
Remote Control 1 and Remote Control 2.
Remote Control Modes
You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or other
devices. When you get the remote it’s already set up to control the receiver. You
must set up the remote to control a device like a TV or a VCR. See Set Up the
Remote to Control Other Devices.
