If you program the remote to control other equipment, refer to the
following for remote control operation instructions:
•
TVs, page C-8.
•
VCRs and DVD players, page C-9.
•
DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-7.
•
Stereo equipment, use only these buttons: SELECT (change
inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.
H
OW THE
Depending on how the remote is set up, the remote control may use
UHF radio signals, IR signals, or both to control the receiver.
However, only IR signals are used to control other equipment.
•
IR signals travel short distances (up to 40 feet), and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects. Point the remote control
directly at the equipment you want to control, with no objects to
block the signal path.
•
UHF signals travel long distances and can go through walls and
other solid objects. Because these signals travel so far, the
receiver may respond to signals from other nearby remote
controls. To handle this problem, you may want to change the
remote and receiver addresses (see page 9).
•
If you're set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote
antenna is attached to the receiver's back panel UHF Remote
Antenna input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.

ROGRAMMING FOR
Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote to control a TV. This
section uses a different method to program the remote to control a TV
or other equipment (such as a VCR, DVD player, tuner, amplifier, or a
second TV). You can program the remote by either following the
instructions in Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3,
or the Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 4.

OMBINATION
When programming the remote to control combination equipment,
such as a TV/VCR or a TV/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. Put
