Depending on the age of your receiver, this may be possible. Turn on the receiver. Then press and hold the Aux button until all of the mode buttons light up. Press 2 to tell the remote that the unit to be controlled is an audio receiver. Then you will need to try one of the Denon 3-digit codes. Press # and check that the mode flashes 3 times. Check if your receiver turns off. If it does, check if the other buttons work to control the receiver. Otherwise try another Denon code by starting at the press and hold the Aux button step.
If you want the remote only to control the volume, mute and power functions of the receiver, press 1 after entering the three-digit code and before pressing the # key.
The Denon device codes to try are 669 670 680 682 696
744 759 760 762 792 809 . You can find the directions for programming the Aux key on page 11-12 of the manual. The code list for audio devices starts on page 43. The manual is available from Dish here:
https://www.mydish.com/filestream.ashx?ID=3025 . Usually the code list for universal remote features will not always work with devices that were released less than 6 months before the remote was programmed. Devices released after the remote was programmed are similarly not guaranteed to be supported.
I hope this helps.
