Test the VCR (Record/Stop)

This Record/Stop test verifies the specified brand and code controls your VCR. Before starting the test:

Turn the VCR power on.

Verify the VCR Control Cable is properly connected.

Insert a recordable videotape into the VCR.

Signals coming from the remote control at the same time as signals coming from the VCR Control cable may provide unreliable test results.

Use the DIRECTV Receiver front panel controls, rather than the remote control, to test the codes.

Test the VCR record and stop commands, If either command does not function, try other codes shown for your VCR brand. If you are unsuccessful after trying all available codes, recheck your VCR Control Cable connections and IR emitter placement.
