Ed Fox,

I can definitely understand the concern. Below I will give the steps to program a remote to an auxillary device, a link where you can look up codes, and the steps on how to preform a Power Scan if the codes don't work.

Codes: http://www.mydish.com/support/apps/remotecodes.aspx

Addressing Remote:

1.) Press and hold the clear DVD button until all mode lights light up.
2.) Release and DVD light will be blinking.
3.) Press 1 for a VCR/DVD, and enter the code. (if DVD code is 617, enter 1617)
4.) Press pound (#)
5.) Try functions (Power, Play, etc..) and see if it is working.
6.) If no function, repeat steps 1-4 with another code.

On the steps above, to program your sound bar, repeat the same steps but instead of DVD hold AUX, and instead of 1 before the code, press 2.

To Power Scan the remote, with the desired equipment on, press and hold the DVD or AUX mode button (about six seconds) on the top of the remote until all mode buttons light up, then release. Press 1 for VCR/DVD, or 2 for other equipment, then press STAR (*)

Press the Up arrow button once per second while pointing the remote at the equipment. If the code for it comes up, the equipment power off.

When it does, press the POUND (#) button. If the code entered is valid for the remote, the mode light will flash three times. To verify the code works try several different functions for that equipment.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

SOURCE: Dish VIP 612 breaks up when playing back recorded shows.

Edy, I am not going to say that this is the definite issue but Dish only has receivers that are 1080i compatible at the time which will give you some blurring and possible pixellating. 1080p will resolve these issues in the future. Therefore if you still need help let me know.

SOURCE: Need to Frequently Reset Dish Network HD VIP 612 Solo DVR.

When you bring up your guide look at the top of the screen and you will see the LIST: if this says ALL HD then press the guide button until you see ALL SUB or a menu and select ALL SUB. If your guide keeps changing by itself its possible to have remote interfence since you have a UHF remote, especially if you also see channel changes as well. Try setting the guide and go from there. If you still continue to have issues call 1-800-333-3474 for tech support for extensive troubleshooting or at dishnetwork .com/tech.

    It sounds like either on the 612 or the Yamaha Receiver that the HDMI port is faulty, thus causing the flashing picture. It sounds like the 612 to the TV works fine. I would recommend replacing the Yamaha, and if problem persists then try replacing the 612.

    My dish network receiver vip 612 push to open door won't stay close

    r_fidis,

    You should be able to just press the door closed with it staying closed. If the door won't stay closed when you try to close it, then the latch mechanism may be defective. There's nothing for you to worry about with the door not staying closed. I hope this helps. If you have any other issues, please respond to this site.

    ViP 612: i need the code for the dvr vip612...

    Guest

    You didn't specify the code you need, for TV or another component, so I am providing a link for the codes that will provide information for different TV manufacturers, DVD players, amplifiers, etc. You can look for your brand for the correct code. A have also provided instructions on programming the remote to this component. I hope this helps.

    Program to TV:
    Remotes: Basic (Television Only)
    1. Turn the Television On
    2. Press and Hold the TV Power button for three seconds until the LED flashes
    3. Enter the three-digit code using the buttons on the number pad.
    4. Press OK. Note: The LED will flash three times.
    5. Test functionality with the TV
    6. Return to Step 2 if the remote is not able to turn the TV On/Off, change the volume and mute the television.
    Link for codes:

    DISH VIP612 Program AUX Remote Code 2

    DISH Solo DVR VIP612 Program AUX Remote Code

    7c06801.jpg

    Would you like to program the Universal Remote that came with your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 to control your receiver, tuner, stereo, second TV or second VCR using your remote's AUX mode? (Instructions to setup a primary TV or a VCR are a little different, but can be found here.)

    e818a57.jpg

    To setup your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote, follow these steps to enter the remote control codes to control a device with the AUX mode:

    1. Turn the device you would like to control on.
    2. Find the brand name of the device you would like to control in the control code tables on page 112 of the Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 User Manual.
    3. Press and hold the AUX mode button until all the other buttons light up, and then let go. The AUX mode button will flash.
    4. Press 0 for a TV, 1 for a VCR, or 2 for a receiver, amplifier or tuner.
    5. Enter one of the three-digit codes from the tables in the manual.
    6. Press POUND (#). The mode button will flash three times.
    7. Press POWER to turn off the device. If the device does not turn off, skip to step 9.
    8. Turn the device back on and try some of the other buttons to make sure they work. If the code works, stop here.
    9. If the code didn't work, repeat steps 3 through 7 with the next device code from the tables in the manual.
    Your device control codes for your amplifier or other AUX device are now programmed into your DISH Solo DVR ViP 612.

    Now you probably want to set your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote up so that it always controls the volume of your stereo, rather than of your TV, regardless of whether it is in SAT, TV, VCR or AUX mode. Help for this remote control programming can be found here.

    Would you like to program the Universal Remote that came with your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 to control the volume of your receiver, tuner, or stereo instead of your TV's volume?

    e818a57.jpg


    The first step in using the Universal Remote Control that came with your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 to control the volume level of your receiver, tuner, or stereo is to program the remote to control your audio device using the AUX mode button.

    Once your remote controls your audio device in AUX mode, you probably want to continue to control the volume of your stereo even if the remote is in SAT, TV or VCR mode.

    To setup your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote to control the volume of your stereo regardless of which mode it is in, follow these steps:

    1. Press and hold the AUX button until all the mode buttons are lit, and then let it go.
    2. Press the POUND (#) button.
    3. Press the PLUS side of the VOLUME button.
    4. Press 0.
    5. Press the POUND (#) button. The AUX button flashes three times to tell you the programming is complete.
    6. Confirm the VOLUME buttons are operating the tuner/amplifier's volume control by pressing SAT or TV, and then adjusting the volume. Your tuner/amplifier's volume should change rather than your TV's volume.

    Your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote is now setup to control the volume of your stereo regardless of which mode it is in

    I hope that helps.

    Would you like to autoscan program the Universal Remote that came with your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 to control your TV, VCR, receiver, or stereo?


    e818a57.jpg

    To auto-program device codes into your Dish Solo DVR VIP 612 Universal Remote by searching for the code, follow these steps:

    1. Turn the device you would like to control on.
    2. Press and hold the mode (TV, VCR, or AUX) button until all the other buttons light up, and then let go. The mode button will flash.
    3. FOR AUX MODE ONLY - Press 0 for a 2nd TV, 1 for a 2nd VCR, or 2 for a receiver, amplifier or tuner. Then press the STAR (*) button.
    4. Press POWER to put your remote into scan mode.
    5. Press the UP or DOWN ARROW repeatedly until your device turns off. Each arrow press tries the next code your remote knows for your selected device type. When your device turns off, you have found a compatible code. When the remote runs out of codes to try, the device will flash rapidly eight times.
    6. Press POUND (#). The mode button will flash three times as it stores the found code.
    7. Turn the device back on and try some of the other buttons to make sure they work. If all functions work, your remote has been successfully programmed.
    8. If the code didn't work, repeat this scanning procedure to find a more compatible code. When your device turns off during your next scan, press the arrow key again until the device turns back on to signify you have found the next compatible code.
    Your device's remote control codes for your TV, VCR, or receiver are now programmed into your DISH Solo DVR ViP 612 remote control.

    (The other way to program your DISH Solo DVR ViP 612 remote control is to look at the tables in back of the user manual, and enter the code directly.)

    I hope that helps.

    DISH Solo DVR VIP612 Limited Mode

    7c06801.jpg

    What is DISH Solo DVR VIP 612 Limited Mode?

    You can program your remote control in Limited Mode to keep from accidentally changing the channel on your TV or VCR and causing a snowy or blue screen.

    • When the remote control is in Limited Mode for TV mode, you will only be able to use POWER, MUTE, and VOLUME functions for your TV.
    • When the remote control is in Limited Mode for VCR mode, you will only be able to use POWER and the VCR functions for your VCR.
    Note: Limited Mode is not used with amplifiers (AUX mode).
