5Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the manufacturer of your VCR from the list on the left side of the screen.

6If the VCR type list on the right side of the screen contains more than one type, highlight a type from this list.

Some manufacturers distribute more than one type of VCR. Try them in order until you find the one that passes the test below.

7Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the on-screen Test

button from the left side of the screen, then press the button.

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 DIRECTV 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. The rest of this chapter describes how to schedule and modify timers that allow you to record programs and set program reminders.
