To program your dish remote
I recently bought the sony 910 receiver and wanted to have the dish remote control it the volume ,mute & power .None of the codes work and neither did the scan in the new book .I found this and the remote found the receiver on the third click and also found my DVD player .Now I have all things with one remote which avoids me getting phone calls all day at work from my wife when she's work the remote.For very detail changes I still have to use the original remote which is not a problem .
I hope this helps someone else out and pass it on .I found it buying doing a google search this comes from a old forum and remote but it worked for me
I have tried all the codes to program my remote, what else can I do?
If the codes provided do not work, you can try a Power Scan. Here are some simple tips before you begin:
When starting a Power Scan after previously entering the code manually, first reprogram the remote to 500 using the remote for a TV or VCR or 0000 for the AUX mode. This will give you quicker and more consistent results. Once the device powers off, press the # button or the address button depending on the type of remote you have. Manually turn on the device you are trying to program before you begin the Power Scan. If the scan powers the device off, but does not give full function, re-start scan mode and continue (for example, there are dozens of RCA TV codes). Not all devices are supported, and many will only give you basic functions. If performing the Power Scan correctly then it should not take more than six minutes to find the code.
If you are performing a Power Scan in AUX mode, the steps you should follow are below:
- Hold down the AUX button so all buttons light up.
- Enter in prefix 0=TV, 1=VCR, 2=AUX device (i.e., DVD, stereo amplifier, etc.).
- Press the * button.
- Press Power then press the Up button like you would with a regular Power Scan.
- Once the device powers off, press the # button or the address button depending on the type of remote you have.
- If you start this procedure and at any time do not press a button within 20 seconds, the remote will end the procedure automatically. Simply start over again.
Read it carefully cause the up button sequence is the difference
