Dish Network Platinum Remote Control manual Change the Address

For AUX mode, the first group of flashes tells you what the AUX mode controls. A quick flash (zero) before the three-digit code is for a TV; one regular flash is for a VCR; and two flashes is for a tuner, amplifier, or cable box. For example, if the TV code is 570, the AUX mode button flashes once quickly, pauses, flashes five times, pauses, flashes seven times, pauses, and flashes once quickly.

CHANGE THE ADDRESS

Because UHF signals travel long distances and go through walls,

a neighbor’s remote may control your receiver by mistake. To handle this problem, you can change the remote control and receiver address.

1.Open the Important System Information screen. Press the receiver’s front panel SYSTEM INFO button.

The Important System Information screen shows a Remote Address.

Write down this number:

2.Press and hold the SAT mode button about three seconds, until all the mode buttons light up,

and then let go of the SAT button. The SAT mode button will blink.

3.Use the number buttons to enter any number

from 1 to 16, but not the one you found in step 1. The SAT mode button goes out after you enter each digit, and then lights up again.

Write down the number you entered:

4.Press the POUND (#) button.

If you entered the address correctly, the SAT mode button will flash three times.

5.Press the RECORD button.

6.Make sure the Remote Address on the Important System Information screen now is the same as the one you entered in step 3. If it isn’t, the remote can’t control the receiver.

7.To check the remote control address, press and hold the SAT mode button for three seconds. Then, let go of the SAT button, and press the POUND (#) button twice. The SAT mode button flashes the same number of times as the address you entered in step 3.
