REMOTE CONTROL BASICS
This remote control gives you easy access to all the features of a DISH
Network satellite TV receiver. You can set up the remote to control the
satellite TV receiver and up to three other devices. These devices can
be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.
MODELS SUPPORTED BY THIS GUIDE
This user’s guide supports the following remote control models as
shown on the label on the back of the remote:
•5.0 - Infrared (IR) only. For use with appropriate IR-controlled
DISH Network receivers.
•6.0 - Infrared/Ultra-High Frequency Pro (IR/UHF Pro). For use
with appropriate UHF Pro-controlled DISH Network receivers.
The 6.0 remote can be converted to one of three different remote
types used on a DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver:
With the blue 2 UHF Pro key installed, this remote
will operate the UHF Pro side of the DISH
Player-DVR 522 receiver. The remote comes with
this key already installed.
With the green 1 key installed (no UHF Pro
marking), this remote will operate the IR side
of the DISH Player-DVR 522 receiver. This remote
will look and work exactly like a 5.0 IR remote.
See instructions in Converting the 6.0 Remote.
With the green 1 UHF Pro key installed, this
remote will operate the side of the DISH
Player-DVR 522 receiver from a distance using
UHF Pro. See instructions in Converting the 6.0
Remote.
If you set up your DISH Player-DVR 522 to operate the
side using UHF Pro, the two UHF Pro remotes for
this receiver will interfere with each other when
operated at the same time. This may prevent the
remotes from operating the receiver momentarily.
•8.0 - Infrared/Ultra-High Frequency Pro (IR/UHF Pro). For use
with appropriate UHF Pro-controlled DISH Network receivers.

INSTALLING BATTERIES
The remote control requires AAA batteries. When
you replace old batteries, you should replace all of the
batteries. Use batteries of the same kind, for example,
alkaline or carbon zinc, and don’t mix batteries of
different kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer.
1. Press down on the battery cover and slide the
cover off.
2. If you are replacing batteries, take out all of
the old batteries.
3. Put the new batteries in. Make sure
you match the plus (“+”) ends with the
plus markings on the battery case.
4. Slide the cover back into place.
UHF AND IR SIGNALS
The remote control may use either UHF radio signals or IR light
signals to control the receiver but uses only IR signals to control other
devices.
•IR signals travel only short distances (up to 40 feet),
and cannot go through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control right at the device
you want to control, with no objects to block the signal path.
•UHF signals travel long distances (up to 200 feet) and can
go through walls and other solid objects. Because UHF signals
travel so far, the receiver may respond to signals from other
nearby remote controls. To handle this problem, you may want to
change the remote and receiver addresses. See Setting Up to
Control the Satellite Receiver on page 4.
•Confirm that the UHF remote antenna is attached to the receiver’s
back panel UHF REMOTE ANTENNA input so you can use
your UHF Pro remote.

CONVERTING THE 6.0 REMOTE CONTROL
By replacing the key at the bottom of the 6.0 remote, this remote can be
converted to look and work like a 5.0 IR or to operate like a second
UHF Pro remote to control the side of the DISH Player-DVR 522
receiver. The instructions that follow show you how to replace this key.
After replacing the key, follow the instructions in Setting Up to Control
the Satellite Receiver.
Note: If you do not need to replace the key, you do not need to
complete the instructions that follow. Go to Setting Up to Control the
Satellite Receiver.
1. Slide the battery cover off.
2. Insert your thumbnail in the
seam between the remote
control and the blue 2 key to
separate the key from the
remote control.
3. Grasp the key at the bottom and pull down firmly to remove.
4. If you are converting the remote
to look and work like a 5.0 IR
remote, then turn the removed
key over with the green 1 side
up (this key should not have a
UHF Pro marking). Reinstall
the key with the green side
showing. Make sure the key
snaps in place.
Note: Key
has no UHF
Pro marking.

SETTING UPTO CONTROL THE SATELLITE
RECEIVER
The remote and the receiver must be set up on the same address so that
the remote can control the receiver. When you get the remote, it's
already set up to control the receiver on address 1. However, your
receiver may be set to a different address or, in the case of the DISH
Player-DVR 522, may need some additional setup. To set up the
remote and receiver to work together on the same address, use the
following instructions.
5. If you are converting the remote
to operate like a second UHF
Pro remote to control the
side of the DISH Player-DVR
522 receiver, then get the green
1 UHF Pro key provided
separately. Install this key in the
remote with the UHF Pro
marking showing.
If you set up your DISH Player-DVR 522 to
operate the side using UHF Pro, the two
UHF Pro remotes for this receiver will interfere
with each other when operated at the same time.
This may prevent the remotes from operating
the receiver momentarily.
6. If you have not already installed batteries, install them now.
See Installing Batteries for further details.
7. Slide the battery cover back into place.
Note: Key has the
UHF Pro marking.

CHECKING THE REMOTE ADDRESS
To read out the remote control address setting:
1. Press and hold the SAT mode button for three seconds
until all mode buttons light. Then, let go.
2. Press the POUND (#) button twice while watching
the SAT mode button.
3. Count the number of times the SAT mode button
flashes. This number is the remote address. For
example, if the SAT mode button flashes 6 times, this
indicates the remote address is set to 6.
SETTING UPTO CONTROL OTHER DEVICES
To use the remote to control other devices (such as a TV, VCR, DVD
player, tuner, or amplifier), you must first program it to control these
other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in
Setting Up Using Device Code Tables on page 9, or the Setting Up
Using Device Codes Scan procedure described on page 10.
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.
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 the POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons to control your TV.
Also, when you use the remote to control your VCR in Limited Mode,
you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR function buttons.
The section Setting Up Using Device Codes Tables has a step that tells
the remote control to go into Limited Mode.
Note: Limited Mode can not be used with audio amplifiers.
