Control Other Devices with the Remote Controls

This section describes how to use Remote Control 1 or Remote Control 2 to
control with a TV, a VCR, or other devices. For information on how to use
the remote to control the receiver, see Using the Remote Controls on page
37. You can set up both remote controls to control the satellite TV receiver
and up three other devices each. These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD
player, and a third device.
Where the word "remote" is used in the following section, it applies to both
Remote Control 1 and Remote Control 2.
Remote Control Modes
You can set the remote to four different modes to control the receiver or
other devices. When you get the remote it's already set up to control the
receiver. You must set up the remote to control a device like a TV or a VCR.
See Set Up the Remote to Control Other Devices below.
Use the remote control's mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV (for a
TV), VCR (for a VCR or a DVD player), and AUX ("auxiliary," for a
second TV, a second VCR or DVD player, a tuner, or an audio amplifier) to
set the remote to the right mode for the device. To change the mode, press
the button for the device you want the remote to control. The mode button
lights for two seconds to show you've set the remote to that mode.
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. 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 the Remote to Control
Other Devices has a step that tells the remote control to go into Limited
Mode.
: You can use Limited Mode for TV and VCR codes programmed in
Note
AUX mode.
SAT Auto-Tune
SAT Auto-Tune programs into the remote control the correct TV channel
used for viewing your paid programming. If you are experiencing fuzzy,
blue, or black screens, it might be due to the TV being set to the wrong
channel. Using the SAT Auto-Tune feature helps prevent fuzzy, blue, or
black screens from occurring. when the TV mode button is pressed and
released, the remote sends that channel to the TV, ensuring that the TV is on
the correct channel for viewing your paid programming.
To use this feature, you must program the channel by following the steps
under Setting SAT Auto-Tune Channel.
