Controlling Other Components
Setting Up by Learning from Another Remote
After you have programmed your DISH remote to control your devices (in TV, DVD, and/or
AUX modes), you may find not all of the commands used by the devices' original remote
controls function as you expect. The learning function of your new DISH remote control
can support these commands.
The remote control can learn commands in two ways:
1
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 remote control button without a learned
command keeps the pre-existing command (if any) for that programmed device code.
2
Each button on this remote control can learn a command from the equipment's original
remote control. For this type of learning, any remote control button without a learned
command will have no function for that programmed device.
To "teach" your DISH remote control buttons specific commands for your devices,
complete the following:
1
Ensure the the desired remote address is
programmed to the DISH remote.
2
Place both your DISH remote and the origi-
nal equipment's remote control on a flat,
stable surface.
3
On the DISH remote, press and hold the
mode button for your equipment for about
three seconds until all the mode buttons
light up, and then release it.
