DBS Receiver Control
Suggested Location
Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) 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.
The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) Receiver. The Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch the DBS Receiver's channels during timer recording.
NOTES:
●The VCR can automatically change the DBS Receiver channels using the controller when the VCR has been programmed using Express Timer Programming ( pg. 44).
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 VCR's A/V inputs and the cable box to your VCR's antenna input.

About Your DBS Receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.
●The VCR'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 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 66. To set up the Controller go to page 19.
