DSS® is registered trademark of DIRECTV, Inc., a unit of GM Hughes Electronics.
It is also possible to automatically change the satellite channels according to your program setting in the timer program recording.

The infrared signals come out of the sensor window and the front of the VCR. Then they bounce off walls and other objects in the room and are received by the DSS® satellite receiver. The VCR sends out infrared signals to your DSS® satellite receiver even during timer program recording.
Notes
•If the channels cannot be controlled properly because the infrared signal fails to reach the DSS® satellite receiver, change the position of the receiver on the VCR so that it can receive the signal.
•Keep the DSS® satellite receiver turned on even while the VCR is in the timer program recording.
