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 DVD/VCR, or other devices. For information on how to use
the remote to control the receiver, see Using the Remote Controls on page 47.
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 (auxiliary) 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/DVD player. See
Set Up the Remote to Control Other Devices.
Use the remote control's mode buttons, SAT (satellite receiver), TV (for a TV),
DVD (for a VCR or a DVD/BD player), and AUX ("auxiliary," for a second TV,
a second VCR, a DVD or BD player, a tuner, or an audio amplifier/receiver) 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.
Set Up the Remotes to Control Other Devices
Over the next few pages we tell you how to use the remote to control a TV, a
VCR, a DVD/BD player, a tuner, or an audio amplifier/receiver.
To use the remote to control other devices, you must first program it to control
these other devices. You can do this by either following the instructions in Set
Up the Remote Control below, or the Scan for Device Codes procedure
described on page 106.
If you are programming the remote to control a combination device, such as a
TV/VCR or a VCR/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 in DVD mode.
