DBS Receiver
Control Setting
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.
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 receiver’s channels during
timer recording.
NOTES:
• The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver channels
using the Controller when the VCR has been programmed
using Express timer programming (
A page 44).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode, the
Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ timer recording. (You can also use ‘Satellite Auto
Recording’ (
A page 47) if your DBS receiver is equipped with
a timer.)
• If a cable box is also used, it is recommended that you
connect the DBS receiver to your VCR’s [AUDIO/VIDEO
INPUT] connectors and the cable box to your VCR’s
[ANTENNA IN] terminal.
Installing Controller
A Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing
the DBS receiver’s remote sensor.
•Make sure the path between the Controller and
the DBS receiver’s remote sensor is not blocked.
B Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on
the back of the Controller.
C 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 INPUT] 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.
D Connect Controller to VCR
Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX
Controller connector on the rear panel.
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 VCR’s wireless Remote can control your DBS receiver. This eliminates the need for a separate DBS receiver’s Remote.
• 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, refer to page 77. To set up the Controller, go to page 26.
