Connections and initial set up

10.Deactivating the programming of the

satellite or cable receiver - Yes is selected to deactivate the programmer. In that case, all your satellite recordings will have to be programmed from your satellite or cable receiver (this is the recommended setting). Leave Yes selected and press OK.

11.IR controller connection - Refer to the diagram on page 8, follow the instructions on the screen and press OK.

12.Enter the receiver code - Now key in your receiver’s satellite code number (refer to the table on the next page), then press OK to validate. If the brand or model of your satellite or cable receiver is not shown, try other numbers in the list displayed. If unsuccessful, contact your retailer.

Note:Your DVD recorder asks you to display channel 2 on the satellite receiver. However, with some receivers, it is preferable to display channel 0, 02 or 002.

13.Press OK to start the test - The DVD recorder sends a signal to your satellite receiver via the infrared controller cell. A configuration menu will appear as the satellite receiver positions itself on channel 12 (check that channel number 12 appears on the display panel of the satellite receiver, sometimes fleetingly, and even if no picture is visible on the TV screen). If the satellite receiver is not on channel 12, select No with the C or B keys and press OK.

Your DVD recorder sends a new command to the satellite receiver. (Several tests are possible, depending on the brand of your satellite receiver).

If the satellite receiver goes on to channel 12, select Yes with the C or B keys and press OK. If unsuccessful, repeat the settings, starting at step 11, but with the satellite receiver positioned on channel 0, 02 or 002 instead of 2.

A channel sorting window will appear. The picture of the selected channel is shown in the background. Refer to page 7 to sort the stored channels or set the time on your DVD recorder if necessary.

Your DVD recorder is now ready to control your satellite receiver to program

recordings.
