INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

DBS Receiver Control Setting

Suggested location

Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR’s Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the DBS receiver’s remote sensor.

ATTENTION:

The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS receiver and a cable box are used, position the Controller so its signal reaches the remote sensors on both the DBS receiver and cable box.

The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver. The Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch the DBS receiver’s channels during timer recording.

NOTES:

●The Controller is not supplied with this unit. It can be requested by mailing in the completed JVC Cable Mouse Certificate that is included with the accessory package.

●The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using Express timer programing ( pg. 34) or

4HR quick programing ( pg. 36).

Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during VCR Plus+ timer recording.

●If a cable box is also used, it is recommended that you connect the DBS receiver to your VCR’s audio/video input connectors and the cable box to your VCR’s antenna input terminal.

How to control the DBS receiver

This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS receiver.

●The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receiver’s Remote.

●The VCR’s Controller can also control your DBS receiver. This allows the VCR to change your DBS receiver’s channel number during timer-recording.

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR’s Remote, refer to page 54. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.

The JVC HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U are part of JVC's renowned line of Super VHS (S-VHS) VCRs, known for their advanced recording capabilities and high-quality video output. These VCRs, popular in the late '90s, reflect JVC's commitment to preserving video fidelity during the transition from analog to digital formats.

One of the standout features of the HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U is their Super VHS technology, which delivers superior image resolution compared to standard VHS.

Another notable feature is the on-screen programming capability, simplifying the process of scheduling recordings. Users can easily set timers and select specific channels, making it a user-friendly experience for even those less familiar with high-tech devices. The inclusion of a variety of audio outputs, including stereo sound, ensures that users can enjoy enhanced audio quality to complement the superior video performance.

JVC's HR-S5900U and HR-S5910U also support various recording speeds, including SP and EP modes, allowing users to extend recording time without sacrificing much quality.
