DBS Receiver Control

Suggested Location

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

ATTENTION:

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

NOTES:

The recorder can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels using the controller when the recorder has been programmed using Express Timer Programming (pg. 58). Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during the VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.

If a cable box is also used it is recommended that you connect the DBS receiver to your recorder’s A/V inputs and the cable box to your recorder’s antenna input.

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 control sensors of both the DBS receiver and cable box.

About Your DBS Receiver

This recorder has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.

The recorder’s Wireless Remote Control Unit can control the power and channel functions of your DBS Receiver.

For these functions, the need for a separate DBS Receiver Control Unit is eliminated.

The recorder’s Controller can also control your DBS Receiver. This allows the recorder to change your DBS receiver's channel number during timer recording.

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the recorder’s Remote Control unit, refer to page 84. To set up the Controller go to page 19.
