MORE FEATURES

For VCRs that do not label the remote sensor, you need to use the VCR’s remote to locate the sensor before affixing theVCR controller.

1.Hold the remote control so that it is touching the front of the VCR.

2.Slowly move the remote over the front of the VCR while pressing the remote power button on and off.

3.When your VCR turns off or on, you have located the sensor.

To test the VCR controller, use a piece of clear tape to temporarily attach the VCR controller to the spot where you think the sensor is located, and then follow the steps described under “Selecting a VCR Type.”

Connecting the VCR Controller

In order for the receiver and VCR to communicate, you need to attach the VCR controller to the back of the satellite receiver.

1.Plug the VCR controller into the VCR CONTROL jack on the back of the satellite receiver.

2.Affix the other end to the remote sensor on your VCR.

Selecting a VCR Type

You need to tell the satellite receiver whichVCR 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 the next page.

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 satellite receiver and the VCR are communicating.

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