To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DV
D player, tuner,
amplifier, or DISH Network satellite receiver), you must first program it to control these
other devices. You can do this by either following the instructio
ns in Setting Up Using
Device Code Tables
on page 51, or the
Setting Up Using Device Codes Scan procedure
described on page 52.
Remote Control Modes
Use the remote control’s
mode buttons, SAT (sat
ellite 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 Ne
twork satellite receiver) to set
the remote to the right mode
for the device. To change the mode, press the button for the device yo
u want the remote to
control. The mode button lights for two second

mode.
Limited Mode
You can program your remote control in Limite
d 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 POWER,
MUTE, and VOLUME. Also, when you use the

Limited Mode, you will only be
able to use POWER and the

other mode. For example, to program the remo

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.
