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:

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

Make sure the path between the Controller and the DBS receiver’s remote sensor is not blocked.

2 Attach Controller

Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the Controller.

3 Connect DBS receiver to VCR

If your DBS receiver does not have audio/ video input connectors

Connect the RF output terminal on the DBS receiver to the ANT. IN terminal on the rear of your VCR.

If your DBS receiver has audio/video input 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.

NOTE:

When connecting your DBS receiver, refer to its instruction manual.

4 Connect Controller to VCR Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.

How to control the DBS receiver

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

The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receiver’s Remote. 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 48. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.
