Connecting the VCR Controller
In order for the DSS
®
receiver and VCR to communicate, you
need to attach the VCR Controller to the back of the receiver.
1. Plug the VCR Controller into the VCR CONTROL jack on the
back of the DSS
®
receiver.
2. Affix the other end to the remote sensor on your VCR.
Locating the VCR’s Infrared Remote
Control Sensor
The VCR Controller must be affixed directly over the infrared
remote sensor on your VCR.
Some VCRs label the infrared remote sensor, and others do not.
If your VCR is labeled, affix the VCR controller directly over the
sensor.
Using the VCR Remote to Locate the Remote
Sensor
For VCRs that do not label the remote sensor, you need to use
the VCR’s remote to locate the sensor before affixing the VCR
controller.
1. Hold the remote control so that it is touching the front of
the VCR.
2. Slowly move the remote over the front of the VCR while
pressing the remote power button on and off.
3. When your VCR turns off or on, you have located the sensor.
To test the VCR controller, use a piece of clear tape to
temporarily attach the VCR controller to the spot where you
think the sensor is located, and then follow the steps described
under “Selecting a VCR Type.”
