Recover Button
Press the RECOVER button if you accidentally change the channel or video input/source on your TV and cannot get the picture back from your satellite receiver. When you press the RECOVER button as described below, the remote control sends commands to your TV to change channels or video inputs to try to return you to watching satellite programming. This procedure works only if you have accidentally changed the TV channel or video input. It does not recover a lost satellite signal (See Chapter 4 - Reference for troubleshooting information).
The following setup is required to use the RECOVER button:
•The remote control must be set up to control the TV and, if installed, the VCR (see page 85).
•If a VCR is installed, make sure it is connected as shown on page 31.

2.Press the RECOVER button. Wait for the TV or VCR mode button to flash
