DISH Solo DVR VIP612 Amplifier / Receiver Control

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.

Remote not responding

It sounds like the remote may need to be reprogrammed to thetelevision or receiver depending on what specifically is not responding. Thefirst thing to do when having problems with a remote it to replace thebatteries, as that is a common cause. If the remote is not changing your DISHchannels then you would need to address the remote to the receiver. This can bedone by pressing 'System Info' button on the receiver then press the 'SAT'button on the remote once, then press the 'Record' button. If the remote is notturning on the television or working the volume, you would need to address theremote to the television. This can be done by doing a 'power scan'. First holddown the TV button for 6 seconds, press and release the power button, then pressand release the 'channel up' button once per second until the television turnsitself off. Lastly, press the pound button, this will lock in the code for yourTV and the remote should then work.
