RECORDING
DSS
®
Satellite Receiver Control
This VCR needs to be connected to a DSS
®
satellite receiver equipped with an infrared
wireless remote control. You can select
satellite channels from the DSS
®
satellite
receiver by operating this VCR.
DSS
®
is registered trademark of DIRECTV,
Inc., a unit of GM Hughes Electronics.
It is also possible to automatically change
the satellite channels according to your
program setting in the timer program
recording.
Placing the DSS
®
Satellite
Receiver
Put the DSS
®
satellite receiver on the top of
the VCR as shown below. Do not block the
sensor window.
The infrared signals come out of the sensor
window and the front of the VCR. Then they
bounce off walls and other objects in the
room and are received by the DSS
®
satellite
receiver. The VCR sends out infrared
signals to your DSS
®
satellite receiver even
during timer program recording.
Notes
• If the channels cannot be controlled properly
because the infrared signal fails to reach the DSS
®
satellite receiver, change the position of the
receiver on the VCR so that it can receive the
signal.
• Keep the DSS
®
satellite receiver turned on even
while the VCR is in the timer program recording.
