DBS Receiver Control Setting

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 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 channel during timer recording.

NOTES:

The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels

using the Controller when the VCR has been programed using “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 46).

Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the

Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during “VCR Plus+® Timer Programing” ( pg. 42).

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.

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 69. To set up the Controller, go to page 24.
