This may help. It has a list of codes:

http://worldwide.bose.com/axa/assets/pdf/owner_guides/HomeTheatre/cinemate_remotecodes.pdf.

Don't go and search for IR codes as you'll waste your time. Use the learning method. Take your bose remote and put it on a flat surface and point it toward the little square receiver on the dish remote (located on the top left side). Then press the "aux" mode button on the dish remote until all the mode buttons light up and the aux mode light starts to blink. Then press the record button on the dish remote for 3 seconds until the aux mode button lights up and stays lit (it then stays lit during the whole learning program). On the dish remote press the button you want to learn but don't hold it down (I started with the up volume) . Then press the corresponding button on the bose remote but hold that down until the aux mode button blinks once and comes back on (if the mode button blinks three times the dish remote did not learn the command and you should try changing the batteries on the dish remote if it happens repeatedly that it fails to learn). Program the remaining commands by repeating the process of pressing a button on the remote, then pressing and holding the corresponding button on the bose remote. Don't be afraid to do it with the mute and the power buttons too. During this process if you don't press a button for more than 30 seconds it will time out and nothing will be recorded and you will need to start again. To end the programming press the aux mode button. When you are using the bose solo using the dish remote you just need to remember to press the aux mode button first so it flips to command the bose solo.

3mc0sk1,

I can definitely provide assistance with this! Our Hopper receive uses a special function to program the remote for you.

Go to Menu > Settings > Remote Manager. Select the option, 'TV Code', 'DVD Code', or 'AUX Code', based on the type of equipment you are programming. Once selected, follow the prompts on screen and it will automatically scan for codes!

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Here is what I did for my Bose Solo Tv to work on the Bell 9242 receiver.( see page 17 of Bell 9242 guide) 1. Hold down the aux button until all lights flash. 2. Press 2 to ensure Aux is set to audio. 3.Enter code 761 and press the pound (#) button. Now to have the satellite remote default volume to Bose Solo do the following. 1.Press and hold AUX 2.press # pound 3. Press the + side of volume 4. Press 0 5. Press pound ( AUX button will flash 3 times) 6. Press SAT mode 7. Test the volume on Bose Solo. (see page 22 of Bell 9242 guide)

On a Bose 38, the volume will self adjust at start, and then you will be able to change volume using either radio remote, or buttons on main unit (the one with DVD).

If the unit is not responding , then there is a fault.

A fault where the Bose 38 is working (eg. you can swap from DVD to AUX on bose), but you cannot control volume (you do not see the values on main unit display) is rather unusual.

Ensure that you have correctly connected TV, receiver, or any other external device to the bose in Input, not in output from Bose.
If you have an HDTV, use the optical input on Bose, that is the only digital audio in on a Bose 38.

Check if the problem depends on connections, if it does not, let me know.

go here "http://www.dishnetwork.com/support/documents/receivers/default.aspx" to find your remote, then look at the literature to see if Bose is listed or for the code scanning for your remote. good luck!

Refer to page 82 in your Dish Network User's Guide......(Make sure Sony system is powered on and in DVD mode with a disc in the player).  Point Dish remote at Sony box -  Hold Aux until all buttons light up at top....press 2 - then STAR button* and then POWER button - then press the up arrow key repeatedly until Sony turns off - press # key to lock in code.
It took me awhile to get it to work....it will only work power, mute, and volume - not dvd play functions. Refer to page 85 to make the Dish remote control the Sony box volume by default.
Good luck.
