Learning From Another Device's Remote
Use this procedure if you are unable to find a code that allows your DISH remote to control
your device of if some of the commands are not functioning as you expect after
programming your DISH remote to control your device (in TV, DVD, or AUX modes). Use
this procedure to have your DISH 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 progrm a
specific mode, use the instructions for Programming Using Device Code Tables on
page 59 or Programming Using Device Code Scan on page 60.
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, TV, DVD, and AUX) cannot learn a command. For
each Mode button, the POWER button can be learned to turn
the devices associated with that Mode on and off.
Note: The TV POWER button turns the TV on and off in all Modes. It cannot be learned.
Note: The remote times out if a button is not pressed within 20 seconds. If the remote
times out, then start the learning process over again.
To have the DISH remote control learn specific commends for another dvice, complete the
following steps.
1 Ensure the DISH remote control is working with the receiver (see Making the Remote
Work with the Receiver on page 52).
2 Place both the DISH remote and the original device's remote control on a flat, stable
surface. Point the front of the original device's remote to face the small square (IR
window) on the front, left-hand side of the DISH remote, as shown below. The remotes
should be no more than 3" apart.
