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 receiver’s channels during
timer recording.
NOTES:
●
The VCR can automatically change the DBS receiver
channels using the Controller when the VCR has been
programed using Express timer programing (
੬
pg. 38).
Because satellite programing does not use PlusCode, the
Controller cannot change the DBS receiver channels during
VCR Plus+ timer recording.
(You can also use “Satellite Auto Recording” (
੬
pg. 62) 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 input terminal.
Installing Controller
1
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.
2
Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on
the back of the Controller.
3
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.
4
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 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 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 70. To set up the Controller, go to page 19.
