INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)
The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels
through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver and you want
your VCR to change to receiver's channels during timer recording.
The VCR can control the DBS Receiver during timer recording
using its Controller.
NOTES:
●
The Controller can automatically change the DBS Receiver
channels when the VCR has been programmed using On-
Screen Timer Programming (
੬
pg. 40).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the
Controller can not change the DBS Receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.
●
If a cable box is used simultaneously, it is recommended to
connect the DBS receiver to your VCR using A/V inputs.

The connection method depends on the type of DBS
receiver you have.
If your DBS receiver has AUDIO and VIDEO OUT
connectors . . .
. . . connect them to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN
connectors on your VCR; if you use the input connec-
tors other than the rear panel AUDIO and VIDEO OUT
connectors, be sure to select the correct external input
mode as described in step 4, 5, 9 – 11 on page 46. Set
the VCR to channel "AU" to use the DBS receiver.
If your DBS receiver doesn’t have AUDIO and VIDEO
OUT connectors . . .
. . . connect the antenna output connector on the DBS
receiver to the ANT. IN connector on the rear of your
VCR.
Set the VCR tuner to the same channel as DBS receiver
RF output. (See page 21 also.)
NOTE:
Refer to your DBS receiver's instruction manual during
connection.

Suggested Location
Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver on top of the
VCR. Attach the VCR's Controller to the top of the VCR with the
Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the DBS receiver's
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 control sensors of both the DBS
receiver and cable box.
About Your DBS Receiver
This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.
●
The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your
DBS Receiver.
This eliminates the need for a separate DBS Receiver Remote
Control Unit.
●
The VCR's Controller can also control your DBS Receiver.
This allows the VCR to change your DBS Receiver's channel
number during timer recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's
Remote Control unit, refer to page 50. To set up the Controller
go to page 21.
