Troubleshooting (continued)

	Problem	What you can do
	You cannot record programs with your VCR	• Make sure that your VCR is connected correctly (see page 10).
		• If you want to use the VCR Control feature, make sure that the
		VCR Controller is connected correctly (see page 11). Also make
		sure that you have selected the correct VCR Manufacturer Code
		(see page 27).
		• If you are using the VCR Control feature to record a future
		program, make sure that your VCR is turned off before the
		program begins. The VCR Control feature will turn on the VCR
		and start recording.
		• Make sure that the program you are trying to record doesn't
		conflict with any Locks & Limits you have set.
		• If you are trying to record a pay per view program, you must first
		order the program (see page 45).
		• Some pay per view programs may be protected by Macrovision
		copy protection at the discretion of the copyright owner. If so, it
		may not be possible to record these programs.

		• Contact your service provider with any other Access Card
—		problems.
	Remote control does not work	• Make sure that the batteries are inserted correctly and that the
		batteries are not weak (see page 7).
		• Remove and then reinsert the batteries without pressing any
		buttons on the remote control.
		• To operate your TV or other equipment, make sure that the
		remote control is set up to operate that equipment (see page 65).
		If the batteries are removed or become weak, you may need to set
		up the remote control to operate other equipment again.
		• Press the FUNCTION button on the remote control of the
		equipment you want to operate (SAT, TV, VTR, and/or CABLE).
		These buttons will flash to show which equipment the remote
		control is set to operate.
		• SAT-A55 model only: If there is a problem when using the RF
		function, check that the RF Antenna is connected correctly
		(see page 12).
		• SAT-A55 model only: Make sure that the remote control and the
		Digital Satellite Receiver are both using the same security code
		(see page 33–34).
	Audio noise	• SAT-A55 model only: If you connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to
		equipment that is not Dolby Digital compatible, set the Dolby
		Digital option to “off” (see page 64). Not all optical jacks on
		audio systems are Dolby Digital compatible.
	“Frozen” picture or display	• Press both the GUIDE and ARROW DOWN buttons at the same
		time on the front panel of the Digital Satellite Receiver to reset
		the receiver.
