To Find the VCR’s Remote Control Sensor:

1.Hold the VCR’s remote control so that it is touching the front of the VCR.

2.Slowly move the remote control over the front of the VCR while repeatedly pressing the remote control’s power button.

3.When your VCR turns on/off, you have located the remote control sensor.

Note: To test the VCR controller’s position, use a piece of vinyl tape to temporarily attach the VCR controller to the spot where you think the sensor is located. Then see Setting up the VCR Control below to see if the VCR Controller is positioned correctly.

To connect the VCR control cable to your DIRECTV® HD Receiver:

1.Plug the VCR control cable into the VCR CONTROL jack on the back of the HD Receiver.

2.After you've tested the VCR (see Setting up the VCR control below), remove the backing tape from the adhesive on the other end of the VCR control cable. Stick the VCR control next to the remote control sensor on your VCR. (See the manual for your VCR if you weren't able to find its remote control sensor.)

Setting up the VCR control

Before you can use the VCR control cable to program your VCR, you must tell your receiver what kind of VCR you have.

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control.

2.Highlight the SYSTEM SETUP menu item, then press SELECT.

3.Highlight the Installation menu item, then press SELECT.

4.Highlight VCR Setup, then press SELECT (the VCR Setup screen appears).

5.Highlight the manufacturer of your VCR from the list on the left side of the screen. Some manufacturers distribute more than one type of VCR, so if the VCR type list on the right side of the screen contains more than one type, highlight the first type on this list. Try them in order until you find the one that passes the test below.

6.Highlight Test on the left side of the screen and press SELECT. A screen appears displaying instructions for testing the VCR setup. Follow the on- screen instructions to see if the VCR Manufacturer and Type settings you selected work for your VCR.

During the test, the HD Receiver will attempt to program the VCR to record for a short time. When the on-screen instructions tell you to do so, check the tape to see if your VCR was able to record the test. If so, your VCR setup is complete. If not, go through the steps in this process again, this time selecting the next VCR Type from the list.

Once you have set up the VCR control, you are ready to use the VCR control to record programs for you. See Chapter 4 for more information on reminders and timers.
