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 59. To set up the Controller go to page 20.

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. 45).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the Controller can not change the DBS Receiver channels during 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.
