Dish DuoDVR ViP 722k User Manual

After you have programmed your DISH Network remote to control your devices (in TV, 
DVD 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 DISH Network 
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 button without a learned command 
keeps the previous command (if any) for that device code.

2

Each button on this remote learns a command from the equipment’s original remote 
control. For this type of learning, any button without a learned command will have no 
function for that device.

To “teach” your DISH Network remote control specific commands for your devices, 
complete the following:
     

1

Ensure the the desired remote address is 
programmed to the DISH Network remote.

See Checking the Remote Control Address on 
page 73.

2

Place both your DISH Network remote and 
the original equipment’s remote control on 
a flat, stable surface. 

Holding either remote control in your hand may 
cause learning to fail.

3

On the DISH Network 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.

 Your selected mode button will blink.
