REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW

Use this full-function remote control to operate the ViP®722k DVR

and ViP222k DISH Network receivers. Also, you can program the

remote control to operate most of the popular brands of audio/video

equipment like a TV, a DVD player (or VCR), or a second DISH

Network satellite receiver. See Programming for Other Equipment on

page 2.

Note: This remote control may have features not used by your

receiver.

USING THE GUIDE

This guide makes it easy to set up and use your remote control. By now

you’ve noticed that the cover contains information on quick set up and

remote control operation.

The rest of the guide contains in-depth information to help you get the

most from your remote control, including controlling other equipment

like TVs, VCRs, and DVD players.

REMOTE CONTROL MODES

Use the remote control’s mode buttons to set the remote to the correct

mode for the equipment. Be sure to program the remote control to

operate the other equipment as described on page 2.

To change the mode, press the button for the equipment you want to

control. The mode button lights for three seconds to show you’ve set

the remote to that mode.

Great Idea: Whenever you finish using

other equipment (TV, DVD, VCR, etc.) be

sure to put the remote back in SAT mode.

2

If you program the remote control to operate other equipment, refer to

the following for remote-control operation instructions:

• TVs, page C-8.

• DVD players and VCRs, page C-9.

• Other DISH Network satellite receivers, page C-7.

• Stereo equipment (for example, an audio amplifier programmed

in AUX mode) uses only these buttons: SELECT (to change

inputs), MUTE, VOLUME, and POWER.

HOW THE REMOTE COMMUNICATES

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 13).

• If you’re set up to use UHF, make sure that the UHF remote

antenna is attached to the receiver’s back panel R

EMOTE

A

NTENNA input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.

PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT

Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote control to operate a

TV. The following section uses a different method to program the

remote control to operate a TV or other equipment (such as a DVD

player or VCR, tuner, amplifier, audio receiver or a second TV). You

can program the remote control by either following the instructions in

Programming Using Equipment Code Tables on page 3, or the

Scanning for Equipment Codes procedure described on page 5.

COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/DVD)

When programming the remote control to operate combination

equipment, such as a TV/DVD or a TV/VCR, program the remote

control in one mode, and then repeat the procedure in the other mode.

For example, to program the remote control to operate a TV/DVD

3

player using code 765, follow the instructions to program the remote to

operate the TV using code 765, and then repeat the instructions for the

DVD using the same code. Put the remote in TV mode to use TV

functions, or DVD mode to use the DVD player (or VCR) functions.

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 control to operate your TV in Limited Mode, you will only

be able to use the POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME buttons to operate

your TV. Also, when you use the remote control to operate your VCR

in Limited Mode, you will only be able to use the POWER and VCR

function buttons. The section Programming Using the Equipment Code

Tables has a step that tells the remote control to go into Limited Mode.

Also, a quick way to put the remote in Limited Mode is described on

page C-6.

Note: Limited Mode cannot be used with audio amplifiers.

PROGRAMMING USING EQUIPMENT CODE TABLES

You can set up the remote control to operate other equipment using the

code-table listings that start on page 17 and the modes as shown on

page 1. To control a receiver in AUX mode, see page 7.

equipment on or off.

10 If the code doesn’t work,

repeat steps 3 through 9

with another equipment

code listed in the tables.

Try every code listed for your

brand until one works for your

equipment.

11 If you can’t find a code that

works, try the instructions

that follow for Scanning

for Equipment Codes.

READING OUT CODES

These instructions explain how to check the remote control code you

put in the remote control when you set it up. Be sure to write them in

the spaces provided on the inside back cover.

Instructions Additional Information

1 Press and hold the mode

button for the equipment

you want the remote control

to operate. When all the

mode buttons light up,

release the button—the

selected mode button

should now be flashing.

For example, hold the TV mode

button for a TV until all of the

other mode buttons light. When

you let go, the TV mode light

will flash.

2 Press the POUND (#)

button twice. The mode

button flashes the number

for each digit of the

equipment code, with a

pause between the groups

of flashes. A quick flash is

for zero.

For example, if the code is 570,

the mode button flashes five

times, pauses, flashes seven

times, pauses, and flashes once

quickly.

For AUX mode, the first

group of flashes tells you

what the AUX mode

controls, then the following

flashes tell you each digit

of the equipment code. A

quick flash (zero) before

the three-digit code is for a

TV; one regular flash is for

a DVD player or VCR; and

two flashes is for a tuner,

amplifier, or audio receiver.

For another satellite

receiver programmed in

AUX mode, the group of

flashes tells you the second

receiver’s address number.

For example, if the TV code is

570, the AUX mode button

flashes once quickly (indicating

the AUX equipment is a TV),

pauses, flashes five times for

the first digit of the code, then

pauses, flashes seven times for

the second digit of the code,

pauses again, and flashes once

quickly for the final digit (zero)

in the code.

For example, if the AUX mode

button is set to control a

satellite receiver with address 5,

the AUX mode button flashes

five times.
