DBS Receiver Control Setting

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 sensors on 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:

c ONLY FOR HR-S3800U: The Controller is not supplied with this unit. It can be requested by mailing in the completed JVC Cable Mouse Certificate that is included with the accessory package.

c The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using Express timer programing (Z pg. 34). Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during VCR Plus+ timer recording.

c If a cable box is also used, it is recommended that you connect the DBS receiver to your VCR’s audio/video input connectors and the cable box to your VCR’s antenna input terminal.

Installing Controller

1	Situate Controller
	Place the Controller so that its transmitter is
	facing the DBS receiver’s remote sensor.
	c Make sure the path between the Controller and
	the DBS receiver’s remote sensor is not
	blocked.

		the back of the Controller.

		receiver to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the
		rear of your VCR.
		c If your DBS receiver has audio/video output
		connectors
		Connect an audio/video cable between the
		AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of
		the VCR and the audio/video output connectors
		on the DBS receiver.

How to control the DBS receiver

This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS receiver.

c The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receiver’s Remote.

c 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, refer to page 52. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.
