CONTROL OTHER DEVICES WITH THE
REMOTE CONTROLS
This section describes how to use the Remote Control to control 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 3-2. You can set up both remote controls to control the satellite
TV receiver and up to three other devices each.
These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, or another listed device.
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, 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.
Note: You can use Limited Mode for TV and VCR codes programmed in AUX 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 player, a tuner, or an amplifier.
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 3-50.
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.
