Learning From Another Device’s Remote - Dish Network 20.1 User Manual

Learning From Another
Device's Remote
Use this procedure if you are unable to find a code
that allows your DISH Network remote to control your
device or if some of the commands are not functioning
as you expect after programming your DISH Network
remote to control your device (in TV, DVD, or AUX
modes). Use this procedure to have your DISH
Network remote learn the commands of the other
device's remote control.
The remote control can learn commands in one of two
ways:
• You can follow the instructions for using device
codes to program a specific mode, and then
learn commands that add new or overwrite
existing functions of the remote control's buttons
in this mode. For this type of learning, any
button without a learned command keeps the
previous command (if any) for that device code.
To program a specific mode, use the instructions
for Entering a Code on page 11 or Scanning the
Remote Database on page 13.
or
• Each button on this remote learns a command
from the device's original remote control. For this
type of learning, any button without a learned
command keeps the previous command (if any)
for that device code.
Learning can occur only in TV, DVD, or AUX modes.
The Mode buttons (SAT
AUX ) cannot learn a command. For each Mode
button, the POWER button
the devices associated with that Mode on and off.
Note: The TV Power button
in all Modes. It cannot be learned.
Note: The remote times out if a button isn't pressed
within 20 seconds. If the remote times out, then the
learning process needs to start over again.
