Setting Up the Receiver to Control a VCR

The receiver starts the VCR recording, but does not turn on the VCR. Make sure you leave the VCR turned on. You must also have a videotape in the VCR.

1.Make sure the VCR is connected to one of the receiver outputs and is set to display on your TV. Consult your VCR user’s guide.

2.Get the VCR device code from the table in Chapter 5.

3.Press the MENU button.

4.Select the System Setup option, then the Installation option, then the VCR Setup option.

5.Enter the first 3-digit code number from the table using the NUMBER PAD buttons.

6.Make sure the VCR is turned on. Insert a video tape.

7.Select Test. The receiver displays a message warning you to make sure the VCR is turned on.

8.Press the SELECT/OK 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.

9.If your VCR did not do the test, enter another code from the table, and then repeat steps 2 through 6.

10.When you have found the correct VCR code select the Save option to save the VCR code you entered, and return to the Installation and Setup menu.
