Remote Control Signals: UHF or IR
2 104333
ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control gives you easy access to all the features of a
DISH NetworkTM satellite TV system. You can set up the remote
to control up to three devices other than the satellite TV receiver.
The three devices may include a TV, a VCR, a DVD player, a cable TV
box, a tuner, or an audio amplifier.
REMOTE CONTROL SIGNALS: UHF OR IR
•The remote control uses Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) radio
signals to control the satellite TV receiver. UHF signals travel
long distances (100 feet or more) and 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, see Changing the Remote Control
Address on page16. If this does not work, see Installing an
Attenuator on page17.
•To use the remote to control the receiver, youmust attach the
UHF antenna to the receiver back panelUHF Remote Antenna
connection.
Note: To be able to use the remote control over the longest
possible distance, place the antenna straight up. Donot let the
antenna touch anything.
•The remote control uses Infra-Red (IR) light signals to control
devices other than the receiver. IR signals travel only short
distances (40 feet or less), and cannot go through walls or other
solid objects. You must point the remote control directly
at the device, with no objects blocking the line of sight.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
104333 3
INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control comes with AAA batteries,
packaged separately. When you replace old batteries,
you should replace all of the batteries. Use batteries
of the same grade, for example, alkaline or carbon
zinc, and do not mix batteries of different grades.
Alkaline batteries provide longer battery life.
1.Press down on the slot in the battery cover
(on the back of the remote control) and slide
the cover off.
2.Insert the new batteries, making sure to match
the plus (“+”) ends with the plus markings
on the battery case.
3.Replace the battery cover by sliding the cover
back up into place.
REMOTE CONTROL MODES
To use the remote to control a device such as the satellite receiver or a
TV, you must first set up the remote to control the device,and then set
the remote to the right mode for that device.

REMOTE CONTROL PROCEDURES
CONTROLLING ADEVICE
This section explains how to set up the remote to control a device,
such as a satellite TV receiver, a TV, a VCR, a cable TV box, a tuner,
or an amplifier.
Note: The remote already is set up to control the receiver. But, if the
receiver has its own volume control, then when you first install it, it is
set up so that the remote cannot control the receiver sound volume.
If you want to set up the receiver so that the remotecan control the
receiver volume, see Receiver Volume Control on pag e18.
1.Turn ON the device you want the remote to control, using the
device’s buttons or the remote control that came with the device.
2.Find the brand name of the device in the tables that start
on page 22. If the brand is not listed, seeDoing the Device Code
Scan on pag e20.
3.Press and hold the mode button for the device
that you want the remote to control, for about
three seconds. When all the other mode button
backlights come on, release the mode button. For example
4. Use the number buttons to enter the code
for the device.
Note: For the AUX mode, you must enter
a 4-digit code. The first digit is the code for the
device, as follows:
0 is for a second TV, 1 is for a second VCR, and
2 is for an audio amplifier or cable TV box.
5. Press and release the Pound (#) button. If the
code is valid, the mode button backlight blinks
three times.
6.Test if the code works for the device by pressing
the Power button. If the code works, the device
should turn OFF.
7.Turn the device back ON and try some other buttons to make
sure they work. Sometimes, the Power button may work when
other buttons do not. If the code works for other buttons,
stop here.

Changing the Remote Control Address
16 104333
CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL ADDRESS
Note: Do not change the address of the remote unless absolutely
necessary, because the remotecannot control the receiver if the two
devices have different addresses. If you start doing this procedure and
then do not press any button for 20 seconds, the remote will end the
procedure. Just start over again.
Note: This procedure shows examples of menu options. The options
that you see may differ.
8.If the code you entered does not work, repeat steps 3 through 7
using another code from the tables.
9.If you have tried all of the codes listed for the device without
success, or if you cannot find the device brand name in the
tables, see Device Code Scan on pag e20.
1.Display the Important System Information menu.
Note the Remote Address shown on this menu.
To do this:
Either: Press the System Information
button.
or: a) Press the Menu button.
b) Select the System Setup option.
Note: This step does not apply

come on, and then release theSAT button.
3.Use the number buttons to enter a number
from 1 to 15. The SAT mode button backlight
will blink off after you enter each digit, and then
come on again.

Installing an Attenuator
104333 17
INSTALLING AN ATTENUATOR
Unwanted UHF signals may block signals from the remote control
to the receiver. To prevent such blockage, you can install a 10 dB
attenuator. This will help keep out other UHF signals, but also reduce
the distance at which you can use the remote control.
4.Press the Pound (#) button. If the address you
entered is valid for the remote control, the SAT
mode button backlight flashes three times.
5.Press the Record button.
The Remote Address on the Important
System Information menu should match
the one that you entered.
6.To check the address, press and hold the SAT
mode button for three seconds. Then, press the
Pound (#) button twice. TheSATmode button
backlight flashes the same number of times
as the address.
7.Press the Select button.
1.Remove the UHF antenna
from the UHF Remote
Antenna connection on the
receiver back panel.
2.Attach a 10 dB attenuator to the
UHF Remote Antenna
connection.
3.Attach the UHF antenna to the
attenuator.

Controlling Sound Volume
18 104333
CONTROLLING SOUND VOLUME
RECEIVER VOLUME CONTROL
The receiver may have its own volume control. When you first install
such a receiver, it is set up so that the remote cannot control the
receiver sound volume. You can set up the receiver so that the remote
can control the receiver sound volume.
Note: You should use the receiver remote to control the sound
volume for normal viewing. But, if you are recording a program using
a VCR, and you change the sound volume using the receiver remote,
the volume recorded also will change. So, you may want to set up the
receiver so that only the TV remote can control the sound volume.
Then, when you use the TV remote to change the volume, the volume
recorded will not change. When you are finished recording, make sure
to change the receiver setup back so that the receiver remotecan
control the sound volume.
To change the way sound volume is controlled, do the following:
Note: This procedure shows examples of menu options. The options
that you see may differ.
1.Use the TV remote control to make sure that the TV sound
volume is not turned down or muted.
Note: If you turn down or mute the TV sound volume using the
TV remote, the receiver remote cannot restore the volume even
if the receiver is set up so that the remote should be able to do so.
2.Press the Menu button.
3.Select the System Setup option.
4.Select the Volume Control option.
Note: If the System Setup menu does not
display this option, the receiver doesnot have
its own volume control.
5.Select the TV remote volume control or the
DISH remote volume control option.
6.Select the Save option.
7.If you are setting up the remote control for the first time, see
Controlling a Device on pag e15. In step 4 of that procedure,
use code 222 in TV mode to set up the remote to control the
receiver, including the receiver sound volume.
