MORE FEATURES

SELECTING A VCR TYPE

You need to tell the DSS® receiver which VCR brand you are using by selecting Set VCR Type from the Options menu.

The Set VCR Type screen is located in the Options menu.

1.Use the arrows or digit keys to input the correct code for your VCR brand. The VCR codes are located on page 57.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions to ensure that you are using the correct code. If the VCR automatically stops tape play, then you know that the receiver and the VCR are communicating.

Some VCR brands may not be capable of being controlled by the DSS® receiver.

RECORDING WITH TIMER

If you choose Record instead of Watch when setting the Timer (and have set up your VCR as previously discussed), the Timer will toggle on your VCR, then start and stop recording a program.

Your VCR MUST be

Preset to the DSS® output channel (RF or Line).

OFF at the time the program is to start recording.

EDITING OR CANCELING A TIMER

From the Timers screen, select the Timer you want to edit or cancel, and then do the following:

Use the arrows keys to edit the Timer, then select Run Timer.

Select Clear Timer to cancel the timer.

When Recording a PPV Program

Don’t forget to purchase the program as well as set up the timer.

Editing One-Button Recording Settings

A confirmation screen appears when you use one-button recording indicating to which Timer the program information is stored.

When you use one-button recording, only the individual program that you select will be recorded. If you want to record the program on a daily or weekly basis, go to the Timers menu and edit that program’s timer.
