Setting Up the Receiver to Control the VCR

To use VCR Event Timers, you must connect the receiver’s back panel

CH 3-4output to the tuner inputs on the VCR. To use VCR Event Timers, you must set up the receiver to control the VCR.

The receiver uses an IR signal to control the VCR. This signal is much stronger than the signal the remote uses, so it can bounce off walls or other objects on its way to the VCR. This works in most home setups. However, shelves or smoked glass doors between the receiver and the VCR may block the signal. Also, if the signal must cross a very large room, or bounce off curtains, it may not be strong enough to control the VCR. Make sure that nothing blocks the signal, and that the signal can bounce off relatively nearby, light-colored, smooth surfaces.

1. Press the MENU button.

2. Select the System Setup option.

3. Select the Installation option.

4. Select the VCR Setup option.

5.Find the brand name of the VCR in the table on page 81.

6.Set the code for the VCR using one of the following:

•Enter the first 3-digit code number from the table using the

NUMBER PAD buttons.

•Highlight each digit of the first VCR code, and then press the UP or DOWN ARROW button until you reach the correct number and then press

SELECT.

7.Make sure the VCR is turned ON and the switch is set to 3 or 4 (whichever you use). Insert a rewound tape on which you want to record. The receiver starts the VCR recording, but does not turn ON the VCR, so you must do this yourself.

8.To test the new code, highlight the Test option. The receiver displays a message warning you to make sure the VCR is turned ON.

9.Press the SELECT button to start the test. Your VCR records for a few seconds, stops, and then rewinds. The receiver displays a message saying that your VCR test is complete. Follow the instructions on the message.
