Setting up G-CODE for satellite broadcasts
When your satellite tuner is connected via the AERIAL IN connector, first
you have to set the programme position for each satellite channel using the
TUNER PRESET menu. Then set the guide channel number for each satellite
channel using the SET UP CH AND G-CODE menu.
If your satellite tuner is connected via the LINE-1 IN jacks, you don’t have to
set programme positions nor guide channel numbers for satellite channels.
Skip the following operations.
1 Turn on the satellite tuner.
2 Press MENU, then select TUNER PRESET and press EXECUTE.
3 Press PROG +/– to select a programme position you want to use for
watching a satellite channel.
4 Select CHANNEL SET, then press CURSOR /
to tune the VCR to the satellite tuner.
The channel number displayed beside
CHANNEL SET is used for receiving all
satellite broadcasts from the satellite tuner.
5 Press PROG +/– to select another programme position for another
satellite channel, and press the programme number buttons to enter the
same channel number as the one displayed in step 4.
Repeat this step for all satellite channels.
6 Set the guide channel number for each programme position assigned to
the satellite channel, following the procedures in “Step 7: Setting up G-
CODE” on page 18.
Notes
• The menu disappears automatically if you don’t proceed for more than a few
minutes.
• If you inadvertently entered a guide channel number, press CURSOR >/.
repeatedly to reset the ”GUIDE CH” column to ”---.” ”---” appears between 1 and

• The VCR does not allow entering the guide channel number, if the same number
has been set.
• If you use a satellite tuner connected via the LINE-1 IN jacks, you don’t have to
setup G-CODE. Just record a satellite programme using G-CODE, and the VCR
automatically records the programme from the LINE-1 IN jacks.
• When you record a satellite broadcast using G-CODE, you need to select the desired
channel on the satellite tuner manually.
