were going to program this remote to the DISH
Network Hopper.
A customer came in and this remote she said
was eating her batteries so I swapped her
remotes and this one is not programmed to
either the TV or the Surround Sound.
I had to program it to the Hopper Box.
She will also have to do that with the new
remote she takes back.
So if your remote is not any of the DISH features
like the Guide, or channel up or down that
means it needs to be programmed to the Box.
If it is not doing volume like that then it
needs to be programmed to the tv. if you use
the volume on your surround sound then there
are some other steps.
So lets make a quick video first open the
front panel and there is a system info button,
push that.
it will bring you here it tells you to pair
a remote press and release your sat button.
So we press the Sat Button right there and
then it will go beep beep.
well lets go ahead and un pair it.
no remotes press the sat button it goes beep
beep and there we are we are paired to the
Hopper.
So now the features work on the this remote
works the Hopper features.
Now we want to program this remote to take
care of the volume button on the TV and to
turn the TV on and off.
WE hit Menu we go to settings right there,
we go to remote manager tight there, we go
to TV code and Lookup code.
Then we want to pick the brand which is Sony.
So the major brands will be right here, if
you have a off brand or so the most popular
brands are there and you will have to go alphabetical
and it will bring up a expanded list of the
off brands.
Sony is a major brand so hit next just wait
and point the remote in that direction and
then it comes to here and it has downloaded
code 1 of 25 and it will tell you test your
remote to your TV so we just hit the volume
button.
so as you can see the volume works and i am
going to hit yes and I am not going to hit
save yet because now i do not use the TV volume.
I only use the surround sound volume, so if
i hit the volume down here and i want to select
the AUX which is going to be my surround sound.
so I switch to aux I save that and i go to
aux code, and i hit that.
Now i am going to pick my auxiliary device
and it is a Sony surround sound.
So i think its a audio amplifier , accessory,
or receiver.
its usually a receiver try all 3 look up code
same thing.
I am going to find Sony and same thing if
it is not a popular brand it may be in the
list and hit next and its doing 1 of 3 so
i am going to try the volume here and it doesn't
work so i am going to select no and go to
the next code, I do not think the surround
sound is on , so now my surround sound is
on and so i will hit no and go to the next
code.
ya it was on.
hit no it will go to the next code , try the
volume and if the surround sound volume works
then it works.
I think i messed that up i want a do over.
I am going to go cancel then abandon them
and i am going to go cancel, it takes you
back one space cancel does and we will go
back one space i am going to go to audio receiver
, lookup code , find Sony, Next.
so it is going threw the codes and i am trying
the volume to see if the volume works on the
surround sound threw all of the codes.
so try volume and it doesn't work hit no.
so try volume and if you can see over here
its working so i found the code and i hit
yes and i am going to save that and now i
can do the volume and its going to do the
volume on the surround sound because i choose
to do that as opposed to the TV and i can
turn the TV on and off with the little red
button and the hopper turns off with the big
red button.
I can turn the surround sound on and off by
hitting the aux button and the big red button.
So i turn that back on then you always have
to hit the sat button so that your operation
your satellite system because if you hit the
select button and the satellite button doesn't
flash but TV or aux does your operating the
TV or the surround sound and you do not want
to be doing that if you are looking to watch
TV and pause and record and change channels
so we want to make sure that that on is flashing.
if nothing flashes you may have a low battery
but low battery would come up on the screen.
So if we go back to this we can change it
back from surround sound.
if i wanted to change my setting back to the
TV instead of the surround sound, then i am
going to hit menu, go to settings, go to remote
manager, go to volume, and then switch it
back to TV and save.
So if i use the surround sound now just for
movies now and then and i usually use the
TV volume, see now my TV volume is working
and my surround sound is not but if i hit
the AUX button my surround sound you can see
will now work then i have to hit the sat button.
So i will put it back real quick and let you
watch that real quick because i do not do
the TV volume I do the surround.
so were back to the surround sound being my
volume control on the button.
That is how you program the remote for the
Hopper and i hope it helped you out and if
not you probably have a bad remote or maybe
a bad hopper there is something else going
on if that didn't work.
So get a new remote and try it Thanks and
Have a great day.
