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 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 9).

• 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

ANTENNA input so it can receive the UHF remote signals.

PROGRAMMING FOR OTHER EQUIPMENT

Page C-4 shows you how to program the remote to control a TV. The

following 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.

COMBINATION EQUIPMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, TV/VCR)

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,
