Connecting the VCR control cable (model SIR-S310W only)

The VCR control cable allows your model SIR-S310W DIRECTV Receiver to automatically program your VCR to record a TV program. By selecting a Record option from the on-screen Program Guide, you can direct the VCR control cable to flash signals to the VCR’s remote control sensor programming the VCR to tape a TV program for you.

To connect the VCR control cable to your model SIR-S310W DIRECTV Receiver, follow these steps:

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

2 Remove the backing tape from the adhesive on the other end of the VCR control cable. Stick the VCR control onto the remote control sensor on your VCR. (See the manual for your VCR if you are not sure where its remote sensor is located.).

Turning on the DIRECTV Receiver for the first time

1Turn on your TV and set it to display the signal from your DIRECTV Receiver.

If you connected the DIRECTV Receiver to an RF-type input jack, you will need to tune your TV to channel 3 or 4 (depending on how the CH 3/4 switch on the back of the DIRECTV Receiver is set). If you have a VCR, the VCR must be in TV mode or turned off.
