Dish Remote Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Search the Code Listfor your device; try all codes that look like they describe your equipment.
    • If this does not work – do not ask me if I have the code you for your device. If there is no code listed, I don’t have it. Instead, perform a code scan.
  2. Perform a Code Scan, where the Dish Remote control scans every code it contains to see if one of them causes your device to respond. Instructions are on the page below.
    • If this does not work, your only choice is to. . .
  3. Purchase a Learning Universal Remote Control that can learn the codes for any device you have. A list of recommended remotes is shown below.

 

Universal Remote Control Recommendations

Beware! Many low quality learning remotes can’t learn the 57 kHz IR signal that the Dish remote control uses. This is the cause for many remotes not being able to learn Dish codes. Recommended remotes are below:

Best remotes by price range:

The best inexpensive learning remote for Dish system, or any other, is the Radio Shack 15-2116 ($30). It is similar to All for One remotes (and it manufactured by the same company) but this version has a backlit keypad. If you really want to customize these remotes, build or buy a JP1 cable and download your own files to these remotes.

The Logitech Harmony remotes cost between $80 and $140. These are very powerful and very easily configured via a PC and the Harmony website. Just input the make and model of your device and the correct codes are automatically identified. The correct inputs are automatically selected on all devices through a setup wizard. A powerful and easy remote.

If you’re looking for a high-quality universal remote control, I suggest you visit the Remote Central web site. There are discussion forums on everything related to remote controls. A large number of remotes have been released in the past year. Click here for an excellent table comparing the models.

Programming your Dish Network Remote Control

dish remote

Important Note:

If you can’t get a “universal remote” to control your Dish Receiver, it’s probably because it doesn’t have the correct remote address code set. If you can’t get your Dish remote to control another device, it’s probably because the Dish remote is missing the codes.

The only solution for either of these situations is to get a true, code learning universal remote control.

Remote Control Manual

The operators manual for the Dish Network remote control is available here in Acrobat format (remote.pdf, 378 kb). Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to read this file. This acrobat file is also available on the Dish Network website.

Programming Device Codes

The Dish Network remote can be programmed to control up to 4 devices:

  1. SAT Mode: Satellite receiver
  2. TV Mode: Television
  3. VCR Mode: VCR
  4. AUX Mode: Amplifier, Receiver, second TV, second VCR>

How do I program my remote control?

For remotes that have blue arrow and Select buttons and 4 separate mode buttons (SAT TV VCR AUX):
*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.

  • Press and hold the desired mode button (about three seconds) until all mode keys light up, then release.
  • Use the number pad buttons to enter the three-digit number corresponding to the equipment (click here to view remote codes). The light will blink off after each digit is entered and then return to a steady light.
  • Press the POUND (#) button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times.
  • To verify the code works, try several functions for that equipment.

For remotes that have one Mode button at the top:

*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.

  • With the desired equipment on, press and release the Mode button until the light flashes behind the correct mode.
  • Using the tip of a pen or the eraser on a pencil, press the address button.
  • Enter the code (see links to find your code below) on the remote’s numbered keypad for the equipment.
  • Press the Address button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light flashes three times.
  • To verify the code works, try several functions for that equipment. Some codes may provide partial functions or respond differently than the button’s titled function. Try the other codes listed for that device until you find one that offers more complete functionality.

Click here for codes for remotes with blue buttons, gray buttons, and platinum (DVR) remotes.

I have tried all the codes to program my remote, what else can I do?

  1. Turn ON the electronic device you want to program the remote to control
  2. Find the brand name of the device in the device code tables below.
  3. If there is more than one numeric code listed for the brand, try each until the remote is able to control the device. If several codes power on the device, try all of the buttons for each code to find which one best controls all of the functions of the device.
  4. Press the Mode button on the remote until the remote is in the mode for the device being programmed. (The light corresponding to your device will be the last to flash.)
  5. Use the numeric key pad buttons to enter the first code listed for your device in the tables below. The mode light will stop flashing and stay lit.>

    Note: If you are entering a code for the AUX mode, you must enter a 4-digit code. The first digit indicates the device type:

    0 – indicates a second TV

    1- indicates a second VCR

    For example, to program the AUX mode to control a Sony TV, enter a 0 and then 000.

    If you are programming for an amplifier, receiver, or cable TV box, the codes in the table below include the first digit.

  6. Press the Address button to save the code. If the code you entered is valid for your remote, the mode light will blink 3 times.
  7. Test if the code works for the device by pressing the Power button. If the code is correct, the device should turn off.
  8. Turn the device back ON and try some other functions to make sure you have the correct code. Occasionally the Power button may work when other buttons do not.
  9. If the code works, then you can stop here. Write all of the codes you programmed on to the sticker that came with your satellite receiver and apply the sticker to the inside of the remote battery cover.
  10. If the code you entered does not work properly, repeat the above steps, using another code from the table. If you have tried all of the device codes without success, try using the following Power Scan procedure.

Remote Code Power Scan

If your brand is not listed below or if were were not able to get the listed device codes to work properly, use the following procedure to scan through all codes. If/when the remote scan scan reaches the correct code, the device (whether a TV, VCR, or other) will turn ON or OFF. When this happens, try some other functions to make sure you have the correct code. Occasionally the Power button may work when other buttons do not.

Note: If you start the procedure and at any time do not press a button within 20 seconds, the remote will end the procedure automatically.

  1. Turn ON the electronic device you want to program the remote to control.
  2. Press the Mode button on the remote until the appropriate mode light is flashing.
  3. Press the Address button. The mode light will start flashing slowly.
  4. Press the Power button. The mode light will stop flashing and stay lit.
  5. Press the Up or Down arrow button to set the remote to the next code. The Down arrow button scans backward and the Up arrow button scans forward.
  6. When the correct code is reached, the device (whether a TV, VCR, or other) will turn off.
  7. Press the Address button to store the code in the remote control memory. If the code is valid for your remote, the mode light will blink 3 times.
  8. Turn the device back ON by pressing the Power button.
  9. Try some other functions to make sure you have the correct code. Occasionally the Power button may work when others do not.
  10. If the other buttons work, follow the current settings procedure below to determine the current remote settings.
  11. If the other buttons do not work, repeat the previous steps. The scan will resume from the last code stored.
  12. The mode light will flash rapidly when the scan has returned to the starting point and all codes have been tested for that mode. The remote control may not control some device models.

Alternative Info:

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 ike 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.

Determine the Current Remote Settings

You can find out which code is currently set for each remote mode.

  1. Press the Mode button on the remote until the appropriate mode light is flashing.
  2. Rapidly press the Address button twice.
  3. For the SAT mode, the mode light will flash the number of time that matches the receiver address.
  4. For the TV, VCR, and AUX modes, the mode light will flash the number of times to indicate each digit of the current code. There will be a pause between the flash sequences for the digits. A quick flash indicates zero.
  5. Write all of the codes you programmed on to the sticker that came with your satellite receiver and apply the sticker to the inside of the remote battery cover.

Note: When you change the remote batteries, be sure to swap the batteries as quickly as possible. Otherwise, you may need to reprogram these codes into the remote.

 

Changing Remote Address

Dish Network satellite receivers can be programmed to operate on different remote control addresses. Switching to a different address is necessary if you have 2 satellite receivers or if your neighbor’s receiver is set on the same remote address and they are changing your channels.

  1. Press the Mode button until the remote is in the SAT mode.
  2. Press the Address button once (the SAT mode light will start flashing).
  3. Use the numeric key to enter an address between 1 and 15 (do not put a 0 in front of single-digit addresses; 1 is the default remote address). The SAT mode light will stop flashing and stay lit.
  4. Press the Address button again to save the change to the remote control. If you entered a valid remote address, the SAT mode light will blink 3 times.
  5. Make sure the satellite receiver is Powered-off. If not, power the satellite receiver off and wait 15 seconds.
  6. Press the Info button on the front of the satellite receiver. This will bring up the “Important System Information” menu.
  7. Press the red Record button the the remote. The screen will update and the “remote address” listed on the screen will change to the new remote address of the remote control.

Dish 500 Remote Address

The new remotes that ship with Dish 500 systems (the very least a 4722 Dish 500 system comes with one) and it has some new features, and took away some others. Specifically there is no address button on the remote for changing the address if you have multiple receivers. The new process is pretty simple, but not intuitive.

To change the address do the following:

  • Press the System Info button and the Information screen will be displayed
  • Press and hold the Sat button until it starts blinking
  • Press the # you want to change the address to (1-15)
  • Press the # key and immediately press the record button.
  • This should change the address.

    Dish Remote Troubleshooting Steps
    1. Search the Code List for your device. If that doesn’t work. . .
    2. Perform a Code Scan. If that doesn’t work. . .
    3. Purchase a Learning Universal Remote Control

  2. I just bought a duraband home theater adn when I ran teh search for the code on dish under aux it turned off my tv any idea on what the code is?

  3. I need the code for LG Tv to work with dish network

    thanks

    Frank

  4. is there a code for an LG37 LCD flat panel TV?

  5. Carlton,

    Is there any remote that can be “taught” the UHF commands from the Dish IR/UHF Pro? I am very familiar with IR universal remotes, and personally use the Universal Remote R5 with my dual tuner DVR 625 in the room with the receiver. It has great learning capabilities and up to 7 20-step macros can be created for component selection buttons and the power on and off buttons. I use macros to make all the switching and settings changes on my home theater setup work smoothly.

    I need to have more sophisticated control of devices in another room where the 625’s second tuner output is being used than the Dish remote can provide. I can barely make the Dish IR/UHF remote switch inputs on the HDTV, let alone accurately map to the buttons on my equipment. And it doesn’t have learning capability or macros. It works great for the Dish 625 in the other room, of course.

    If I could find a “learning” UHF device which also had an IR receiver and could learn the Dish IR/UHF remote’s transmitted UHF codes, I was thinking I could possibly use an IR remote to signal such a device, which could then send out the Dish 625 signals. I could teach a standard universal remote the other device codes and macros I want to, and possibly map analogous buttons on it to IR codes which my hypothetical UHF-command-learning device would remap to output UHF commands for the 625 receiver.

    Any possibility?

  6. Carlton,

    I have a Sanyo VCR and have used the codes provided by Dish TV to get their remote to do all functions. However, the timer in the Dish TV menu does not turn the VCR on after I have programmed in a starting time? Will a univeral learning remote solve this problem for me? I can get the Radio Shack model that you have suggested in your other replies. Thanks, Jerry Rose

  7. Tim: I know of no remote that can learn the UHF signals of the Dish remote. To do what you’re describing, you have two options. The first is to get a universal learning remote that sends signals via UHF to a base station located near the device that is to be controlled; the base station then emits an IR signal to control the device. The Harmony 1000 and 890 are both capable of this functionality. The second option is to get an IR repeater that reads the IR signal from a regular remote control in one room and then repeats it in the room containing the controlled device. Xantech makes an IR Injector that reads the IR, sends it through the coax cable (which goes throughout the house), and then reads the signal in the other room and repeats it, sending the IR code to the device.

  8. Jerry: What you’re describing is not a function of the remote but rather of the satellite receiver itself. So, a universal remote will not help you. The way it works is that the satellite receiver sends a VCR+ code out (via an IR emitter on the front of the satellite receiver) and any VCR+ capable VCR in the area reads that signal and responds to the command. My guess is that you either don’t have a VCR+ capable VCR or that the signal from the satellite receiver is not reaching the VCR (try moving the two around to see if you can get their front panels to better align.)

  9. Carleton,

    Guess I wasn’t clear. I can’t do as you suggest because the only device I need to control in a remote location is the TV2 side of the Dish receiver (currently controlled by the UHF remote). If I try to control the TV2 tuner via IR (which may not even be possible) it will suerely interfere with the IR commands being sent to the TV1 side of the tuner currently.

    And, if I can make TV2 be IR controlled, and make TV1 UHF controlled, then I am in the same boat with my TV1 home theater setup, i.e., the supplier Dish remote is functionally deficent in its control of the devices hooked to that TV, in the main home theater room, and has no macro capabilities.

    So, I seem to be in a catch 22, unless there are some other ideas out there.

  10. Tim: Sorry, I really have no idea on this one. It sounds like you might have a receiver with two tuners and each one can display a different show on a different TV. If this is the case, you’ll need discrete codes to control Tuner 1 and different discrete codes to control Tuner 2. I have no idea if this is supported or possible. You should probably ask this question over at dbstalk.com.

  11. Carlton, that is exactly what the DVR 625 is – a 2 tuner in one box piece of equipment from Dish. Works great, independant operation of 2 TVs simultaneously (even records 2 different shows at a time) but the remotes are not so great in their support of other than Dish devices. They sort-of work, but… I’ve already commented on the issues above.

    So, I will see if the folks at dbstalk have any ideas. Thanks for the pointer.

  12. I got a kenwood surround i cant program it to work with my remote

  13. the (channel up) button on my dish network remote stopped working, any suggestions?
    thanks
    Allen

  14. Are there any codes to a SONY COMPACT SYSTEM DAV-PC8 Home Theatre system. I have tried every DVD code there is.

  15. i just bought a insignia IS-32 LCd and cannot get the dish remote to work??is there a code out there for this tv!!!

  16. Is there a way to reset my remote? I can’t get the volume button to work for the tv. It stays on aux.
    thanks

  17. I’m not sure, did you try removing the batteries and letting them discharge?

  18. amigo gostaria de pedir ema ajuda sobre um controle que preciso:
    tenho um aparelho receptor de satelite DVB COSAT CS2030
    preciso de um controle para poder funcionar ele, porque o controle do mesmo foi extraviado e não consigo aqui no Brasil outro , oque voce me aconselha a fazer?

  19. do you have remote codes for an accurian dvd player?

  20. My remote light stays on and will not work anything I have new batteries in it please help.

  21. Yea, i programmed one of the dish remotes to my tv, and everyhting works perfect EXCEPT the tv/video button. It doesnt work…any suggestions?

  22. It’s not uncommon for only some of the buttons to work. You may be able to find a different code that works, but you probably need a universal learning remote.

  23. i’ve got the “AUX” button programed to run my receiver. the problem is every time i want to adjust the volume i have to fist push the AUX botton, adjust the volume, then push the SAT button to go back to Satellite mode. it’s not a big deal but i’m just wondering if you know a way to make the AUX mode the default mode for volume control as TV mode is normally.
    thanks, Mike

  24. Mike: I tried and was never able to figure out how to do this with a Dish remote. So I switched to a universal remote.

  25. i just got a 32″ samsung LCD tv and want to program my dish network receiver to the tv remote. i tried all the codes i could find but with no luck. my receiver model is 3900. i was able to program a motorola cable box even though samsung’s website says it’s not compatible with their TVs. i would really appreciate any info you can give me.
    thanks
    Zak

  26. Ive just got a Samsung 32″ LCD tv and cant seem to connect my DvD player to the remote. Its an ALBA DVD114. The biggext problem is that the original dvd remote got thrown off a wall so I really need the code!! If not I guess its down to the DVD player shop hanging my head in shame. PLEASE HELP!!

  27. I am trying to find the programming code for a Pixx satellite receiver, or even any operators manual for any of these receivers… they do not seem to exist anywhere…

    Apreciate any help

  28. I have a 522 Dish receiver, and use its TV2 output to my bedroom. I recently bought a new Magnavox TV/DVD LCD combo for the bedroom. My problem is that I have not been able to successfully program the Dish UHF remote to talk to this new TV. I have already scanned all the codes, but no luck. I do not know of any other universal remote control that can control TV2 of a Dish receiver, which accepts UHF signals only. Help!

  29. sssyippee: Your only option is a universal IR remote with a UHF base station. You’d place the base station near your satellite receiver. The remote would send an command via UHF to the remote base station, and the base station would convert that to IR and send the IR signal to the IR receiver in the satellite receiver. The Logitech Harmony 890 is one such remote. There is no universal remote that will communicate directly with the satellite receiver of UHF.

    Your other option is to use an IR repeater, with an IR receiver in you room and an IR output in near the satellite receiver. This can either be run via a dedicated wire or it can be sent through the co-ax cable that sends the signal to your TV – this is called an “IR injector”. Xantech sells all types of IR distribution equipment. This will allow you to use any IR universal remote control with your dish receiver in another room.

    Neither option is cheap, but it will solve your problem. Good luck!

  30. To control the AUX volume on a 625 in all modes (commonly referred to as punchthrough, but NOT by Dish Network – go figure), do the following:

    1. Press and hold AUX until the mode buttons all light up, then release it.
    2. Press the # button.
    3. Press the Vol + button.
    4. Press the 0 button.
    5. Press the # button.

    To revert back to TV volume, use the TV button in step 1.

  31. I also attempted to control TV 2 on a 625 with the 5.0 IR remote… tech support says you need a second UHF remote (after about 45 minutes on the phone trying to make it work this is their conclusion), but I decided not to do that since I am getting a Vip 622 in about 24 hours. The 5.0 IR remote’s green #1 tab isn’t removable, so I don’t know if using a second UHF remote will actually do what he said it would. It just plain sucks that you’re locked into their remote with UHF. Neither one will control my TV2’s power or volume, and the 625 doesn’t do internal volume like the older systems did…. so… we will see what happens on Saturday when the installer gets here.

  32. Second installation attempt…. 1st aborted due to Dish screwing up the order and sending out the tech with a REPLACEMENT 625… uh, I wanted HD Programming, folks…. So Dish Network sends out a SECOND installer Saturday, who shows up with a VIP 622, AND you guessed it… *ANOTHER* DVR 625 (???). To top it off he has a 24″ dish he wants to install in ADDITION to my Dish 500 so I can pick up the 129º satellite. I called into Dish to confirm that I should be receiving a Dish 1000+ LNB setup, and they said “Yes.” So, I asked why the installer would try to install a second dish. They do some investigating, and it turns out in Washington state that they CANNOT use the Dish 1000+ LNB configuration due to something with the spot beams for Washington state carrying international programming instead of how it is in most other markets. And of course my association will only allow a SINGLE dish… So, here I sit without any HD programming, ready to cancel Dish Network on Tuesday evening. I am waiting for the local Comcast installer to show up on Wednesday with an HD DVR in hand. However, I’ve read that the Comcast 3412/3416 HD DVR’s really suck badly, which is a real bummer. I can’t opt for DirecTV because I don’t have the angle. This is just plain maddening. Hopefully Comcast has got their act together in the past 2 years since I was last with them. ?:/

    Dish has lost me as a customer permanently. They have raised their prices repeatedly. I am getting MORE channels plus HD with Comcast for $30 a month less. Comcast is giving me a locked-in price for a full year because I was a Dish customer. No contracts either. Never again.

  33. I need the code for LG Tv to work with dish network

    thanks

    Jose

  35. i have dish network remote control 3.2 ir, suddenly one of the lights out of four and that is TV continously stays ON. i have pressed all the other button along with changing the battery but it is not doing anything. Just TV button REDLIGHT staying ON. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Omair: Either you have button that is stuck down (press all of them multiple times) or you have a broken remote and will need to purchase a new one.

  37. i want to program my sony tv remote control(rm-y180) to operate my dishnetwork receiver dp311,i dont know the codes

  38. I was wondering if there was a way to get the dish network remote to control my Sony receiver. I have a sony da3000es. I’ve tried all the codes in the manual and tried putting in code 0000 for the aux and pressing up but nothing works.

  39. Just bought a replacement remote for my dish and it will control everything but the reciever. I tried a code scan and it only gave me one number. I know the remote is the right model for the reciever but I dont know what else to try besides to buy another remote.

  40. Hi Nole,

    The code for the Westinghouse LCD TV is 0000.
    I just tried that out and it worked for me.

    Hope it works for you as well.
