Setting Up the VCR
Setup for a Digital
Satellite Receiver
With this setup, the VCR turns on an RCA, ProScan, or GE
satellite receiver antenna and tunes it to the desired
channel at the start time of a timer recording. For other
brands, the VCR tunes the receiver to the desired channel
only if the receiver is turned on. Position the satellite
receiver above the VCR as shown in the Connections
section.

Satellite Viewing Channels
Even though you are offered channels
1-125, most modern satellite systems
can only broadcast to channels 3, 4 or
the Video INPUT “channel” (Selected
with the INPUT button on the remote
control). It is highly recommended
that you chose one of these three for
your satellite system’s broadcast. For
more information about Video line
input, see “How to Find Your TV’s
Video Input Channel” in the
References section of this manual.
