INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)
The following procedure is required if you receive satellite
channels through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite)
receiver. The Controller allows the VCR to automatically
switch the DBS receivers channels during timer recording.
NOTES:
The Controller is not supplied with this unit. It can be
requested by mailing in the completed JVC Cable Mouse
Certificate that is included with the accessory package.
The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver
channels using the Controller when the VCR has been
programed using Express timer programing (
pg. 34) or
24HR quick programing (
pg. 36).
Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the
Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ timer recording.
If a cable box is also used, it is recommended that you connect
the DBS receiver to your VCRs audio/video input connectors
and the cable box to your VCRs antenna input terminal.
Installing Controller
Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is
facing the DBS receivers remote sensor.
Make sure the path between the Controller and
the DBS receivers remote sensor is not
blocked.
Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on
the back of the Controller.
Connect DBS receiver to VCR
If your DBS receiver does not have audio/
video output connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the DBS
receiver to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the
rear of your VCR.
If your DBS receiver has audio/video output
connectors
Connect an audio/video cable between the
AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of
the VCR and the audio/video output connectors
on the DBS receiver.
NOTE:
When connecting your DBS receiver, refer to its
instruction manual.
Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX
Controller connector on the rear panel.
DBS Receiver
Control Setting
Suggested location
Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver on top
of the VCR. Attach the VCRs Controller to the top of the
VCR with the Controllers transmitter pointed towards
the DBS receivers remote sensor.
ATTENTION:
The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS
receiver and a cable box are used, position the Controller so its
signal reaches the remote sensors on both the DBS receiver and
cable box.
How to control the DBS receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS receiver.
The VCRs wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receivers Remote.
The VCRs Controller can also control your DBS receiver. This allows the VCR to change your DBS receivers channel number
during timer-recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCRs Remote, refer to page 54. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.
