Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting
Connecting the VCR control cable
The VCR control cable allows your DIRECTV
®
High-Definition Receiver to
automatically program your VCR to record a TV program. By selecting a Record
option from the on-screen Program Guide, you can direct the VCR control cable to
flash signals to the VCR’s remote control sensor programming the VCR to tape a TV
program for you.
To connect the VCR control cable to your DIRECTV HD Receiver, follow these steps:
1 Plug the VCR control cable into the VCR CONTROL jack on the back of the
DIRECTV HD Receiver.
2 Remove the backing tape from the adhesive on
the other end of the VCR control cable. Stick the
VCR control next to the remote control sensor
on your VCR. (See the manual for your VCR if
you are not sure where its remote sensor is
located.)
Note: Before you can use the VCR control cable to program your VCR, you must
set up the VCR control. See Setting up the VCR control in Chapter 5 for
details.
