REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
Use this full-function remote control to operate the DISH Network
ViP® 922 SlingLoaded™ DVR receiver. Also, you can program this
remote control to operate most popular brands of audio/video
equipment like a TV, a DVD/BD player (or VCR), or an audio receiver/
amplifier. See Setting Up the Remote to Work With Your Equipment on
page 3.
Note: This remote control may support features not used by your
receiver. Also, new features may be added by future software updates.
USING THIS GUIDE
This guide makes it easy to set up and use your remote control. By now
you’ve noticed that the cover contains information on quick setup and
remote control operation.
The rest of the guide contains in-depth information to help you get the
most from your remote control, including controlling other equipment
like TVs, audio devices, and DVD/BD players or VCRs.
REMOTE CONTROL MODES
Use the remote control’s mode buttons to set the remote to the correct
mode for the equipment. Be sure to program the remote control to
operate the other equipment as described starting on page 2.
To change the mode, press and release the button for the equipment
you want to control. The mode button lights up (green for SAT mode,
red for TV or AUX mode) for about three seconds to show you’ve set
the remote to that device mode.
Great Idea: Whenever you finish using
other equipment (TV, DVD/VCR, etc.), be
sure to put the remote back in SAT mode.

2
If you program the remote control to operate other equipment, refer to
page C-6 and the following for remote-control operation instructions:
•POWER, INPUT, MUTE, and VOLUME remote buttons are
used to control your TV when it is programmed in TV mode.
•The same buttons your DVR uses when in SAT mode are used to
control a DVD/BD player (or VCR) when this equipment is
programmed in DVD mode (or alternatively, in AUX mode).
•SELECT, MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER remote buttons may
be used to control your stereo equipment (for example, when an
audio receiver or amplifier is programmed in AUX mode).
HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES
All remote controls used with ViP922 receivers use radio frequency
(RF) signals to control the receiver and IR signals to control any other
equipment you have programmed.
•Make sure that the RF remote antenna for the ViP922 is attached
correctly to the receiver’s back panel REMOTE ANTENNA input so
it can receive the RF remote signals.
•RF signals travel relatively long distances and can go through
walls and other solid objects. For example, the TV2 remote can
control the receiver from any area of the house. Link only the
remote(s) you are using with your ViP922 receiver (see page 10).
•IR signals, used in TV, DVD, and AUX device modes, travel up
to 40 feet in a straight line of sight, and cannot go through walls
or other solid objects. Point the remote directly at the equipment
you want to control with no objects blocking the signal path.
SETTING UPFOR OTHER EQUIPMENT
The following section contains detailed instructions on how to set up
this remote control to operate a TV and other audio/video equipment
you may have (such as a DVD/BD player or VCR, audio receiver or
amplifier). You can program the remote control by completing the
tasks described in Setting Up the Remote to Work With Your Equipment
on page 3.
COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)
When setting up the remote control to operate combination equipment,
such as a TV with built-in DVD or VCR, program the remote control in
one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other device mode. For
example, to program the remote control to operate a TV/DVD player

3
(or TV/VCR), follow the instructions to program the remote to operate
the TV using its code, and then repeat those instructions for the DVD/
BD player or VCR in AUX mode using its code. Press the TV mode
button to use the combination device’s TV functions, or the AUX mode
button to use DVD/BD (or VCR) functions.
SETTING UPTHE REMOTE TO WORK WITH YOUR
EQUIPMENT
You can set up the remote control to operate other equipment using the
following steps and the modes as shown on page 1.

Remote Control settings.
Press MENU and select the
Settings tile. Then from the

Select TV Code to program the
remote to control your TV
when in TV mode. Select DVD
Code to program the remote to
control a disc player, or select

not its code, then select the
Look Up Code option
and continue with step 5.
If you know the four-digit
code for your device, select
the Enter Code option
and follow the steps for
Entering Equipment Codes
on page 5.
Your ViP922 DVR receiver’s
software maintains a database
of device codes for controlling
many types and brands of
equipment. Updates to the
software may add more device
codes to this database. Note that
the three-digit device codes
used by other DISH Network
remote controls cannot be used.

5Scroll the Sort By: (or
Aux Device:) list to
position the option you
wish to select within the
blue highlight bar. Then
highlight your device’s
name in the Brand: list
and select Next.
If the brand is not listed, see
Entering Equipment Codes on
page 5. If there is no equipment
code for your device right now,
you can check to see if one has
been added after your receiver’s
next scheduled software update.
6The next screen displays
the number of device codes
available for the selected
brand, and which code is
ready for you to test.
There may only be two or three
device codes for your specific
equipment, or there may be
dozens of codes available for
certain brands.
7Press and release the mode
button for the device you
are setting up (TV,DVD, or
AUX).
If you are setting up a TV, you
can remain in SAT mode and
press the TVPOWERbutton in
step 8.
8Press POWER to turn off
your equipment. If your
equipment turns off,
continue with step 9. If it
does not turn off, press and
release the SAT button to
switch modes. Then select
No on screen and repeat
steps 7 and 8 for the next
code.
If the code you selected works,
your equipment should turn off.
If the code you selected does
not work, test each code until
one turns off your equipment.
If you do not want to continue
testing codes but know your
device’s model, you can select
Enter Model and use the on-
screen alphanumeric keyboard
to search the database for all or
part of the model name/number.
9While still in the same
device mode (TV, DVD, or
AUX), turn the equipment
back on and try some other
buttons to make sure they
work. When you are done,
press and release the SAT
button to switch modes.
For example, sometimes the
remote’s POWER button
works when other buttons do
not. Also, note that more than
one code may work to turn your
equipment on or off Choose the
code that best allows you to
control your equipment.

linked TV2 remote tunes that
TV automatically to a specified
channel or input (source).
13 If you wish to change the
device used to control
audio volume: Select the

Remote Control settings
screen and follow the steps
in Switching Between TV
and Amplifier Volume Con-
trol on page 8.

or A/V receiver, then you may
want to change which device
controls volume and mute from
the default of the TV to one of
these AUX devices you have
programmed in AUX mode.
