DBS Receiver Control

Suggested Location

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

Attention:

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 VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.

●The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your DBS Receiver.

This eliminates the need for a separate DBS Receiver Remote Control Unit.

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

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's Remote Control unit, refer to page 55. To set up the Controller go to page 19.

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

The VCR can control the DBS Receiver during timer recording using its Controller.

NOTES:

●The Controller can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels when the VCR has been programmed using On- Screen Timer Programming (☞ pg. 42).

Because DBS programming does not use G-CODE; the Controller can not change the DBS Receiver channels during G-CODETimer Recording.

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