How do you find Dishnet Remote Codes for Samsung DVD Player?
How to Make Your Dish Remote Work with Your TV and Other Devices:
Does your Dish remote not change the volume on your TV? Do you want it to turn on your DVD player too? You can make your Dish remote control your TV and other devices like a DVD player or sound system. This article will show you how to program your Dish remote to work with all your devices.
What You Will Need:
– Your Dish remote control
– Your TV or the device you want to control with the remote
– A list of the codes for your TV brand or device (for some methods)
Types of Dish Remotes:
There are a few different kinds of Dish remotes:
– 40.0, 50.0, 52.0, 54.0 remotes (these are the newer remotes)
– 20.0, 20.1, 21.0, 21.1 remotes (these are older remotes)
The way you program the remote is slightly different for the newer and older ones. Look at your remote and compare it to the pictures to determine which one you have.
Programming Newer Dish Remotes (40.0 and Up):
Follow these steps if you have a 40.0, 50.0, 52.0 or 54.0 remote.
-
Step 1: Open the Menu
Press the “Home” button on the remote two times. If your remote does not have a “Home” button, press the “Menu” button once instead.
-
Step 2: Choose “Settings”
Use the arrow buttons on the remote to move to “Settings” on the TV screen menu. Press the “OK” button.
-
Step 3: Choose “Remote Control”
Move to “Remote Control” in the Settings menu and press OK.
-
Step 4: Choose the Device to Program
Pick the device you want to program, like a TV or DVD player, and press OK.
-
Step 5: Use the Pairing Wizard
Choose the “Pairing Wizard” option. This will guide you through the steps to program the remote.
-
Step 6: Find the Device Brand
Look for your TV or device brand in the on-screen list. Choose it and press OK. This is important so the remote knows which codes to try.
-
Step 7: Try the Codes
The pairing wizard will have you test different codes for your TV or device brand. Follow the on-screen instructions. Press “Volume Up/Down” or “Power” for most devices to see if the code works.
– If the code works, choose “Finished.”
– If the code doesn’t work, choose “Try Next Code” and test again with the next one.
– Keep testing codes until you find one that works.
-
Step 8: Test the Remote
After you find a working code, test out the remote. Try all the buttons to make sure everything works right. If something seems off, you may need to try a different code.
Repeat these steps for any other devices you want to program to the remote, like a sound system or Blu-ray player.
Programming Older Dish Remotes (21 Series and Below):
Follow these steps if you have an older 20.0, 20.1, 21.0, or 21.1 remote. This method is called a “power scan.”
-
Step 1: Turn On the Device
Power on the TV or device you want to control with the Dish remote.
-
Step 2: Press a Mode Button
On the remote, press and hold the button for the device you’re programming:
– For a TV, press and hold the “TV” button.
– For a DVD or VCR, press and hold “DVD” or “AUX.”
– For any other device, press and hold “AUX.”
Hold the button for about 10 seconds until the mode lights at the top of the remote all light up. Then let go of the button, and it should start blinking.
-
Step 3: Press Power
Tap the “Power” button at the top of the remote. The blinking mode light should stay on now. This means the remote is in programming mode.
-
Step 4: Scan for Codes
Press the “Up” arrow on the remote. Keep pressing the up arrow every few seconds. This sends different codes to try turning off the TV or device.
Keep pressing up until the device turns off. When it turns off, you find a working code.
-
Step 5: Save the Code
Once the device turns off, press the “#” (pound) button to save that code. The mode light will blink a few times.
-
Step 6: Test
Turn the device back on using its power button. Then, test out the Dish remote. Try the volume and other buttons to see if they work. Test everything now so you know the remote works fully.
Repeat these steps for other devices as needed.
What if I Can’t Find a Code That Works?
If you tried all the suggested codes for your TV or device but none seem to work right, there are some other options:
-
Try the Code Search Again
Do the programming steps again, but try different codes. Sometimes, multiple codes can work, and one might be better than the others.
-
Contact Dish
Call Dish customer support. They may have additional codes to try or can troubleshoot other issues.
-
Get a Learning Remote
Some universal “learning remotes” can learn the signals from your original device remote. This can help if you can’t find a working code. The remote “learns” the right signals from your other remote. Some options are:
– RCA 4-Device Universal Remote (around $10)
– Logitech Harmony 665 (around $70)
– SofaBaton U1 Universal Remote (around $50)
There are many universal learning remotes available online in different price ranges. Read reviews to see which are most accessible to the program.
If Your Remote Controls the TV But Not the Sound
Sometimes, you can get the remote to turn the TV on and off, but the volume buttons still don’t work. This usually means the sound comes from a different device, like a cable box or sound bar. In this case:
- Program the remote separately for the sound device. Use the steps above, but choose “AUX” or “Audio” for the device.
- You can use the Input or Source button on the TV to play sound through the TV speakers instead of the other device’s speakers.
- See if your devices are connected with HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel). This lets you control the soundbar volume with your TV remote. Enable CEC/ARC in the settings menu.
Replacing a Remote:
What if your Dish remote is broken or lost? Dish will replace a broken remote for free within the first 90 days. After that, you can:
- Use the “Locate Remote” button on your Dish receiver. This makes the remote beep so you can find it.
- Buy a new Dish remote directly from Dish. Call them or go to their website.
- Buy a universal remote that’s compatible with Dish receivers. See the “learning remote” options or search online for other remotes.
Conclusion:
Programming your Dish remote to control all your TV devices simplifies things. You just use one remote for everything. Remember to check which model of Dish remote you have since the programming steps are slightly different between newer and older remotes.
If the regular programming doesn’t work, try searching for codes again or using a learning remote. With some patience, you can set up your Dish remote to be the only one you need. Put those other remotes away in a drawer and enjoy easier TV viewing!
