VCR Setup
The VCR SETUP screen provides access to the settings that will allow the digital satellite receiver to
communicate the record and stop commands to your VCR.
Things to do in the VCR SETUP screen
Brand
Search through the various brands of VCRs that are supported using the and keys. Related brands
that share the same control codes may be suggested. You may want to experiment with these if you are
having difficulty finding a functioning code under your VCR’s own brand name.
Code
More than one code may be assigned to your brand of VCR. Try each of the codes offered by using the
and keys to step through each code. Alternate between this procedure and testing the code.
Test (Record/Stop)
The testing function allows you to verify that the specified brand and code will control your VCR. To
run the test, the VCR Control cable must be properly attached, a recordable tape must be in the VCR
and the VCR powered on.
Use the front panel of the digital satellite receiver, rather than the remote control, when testing the
codes. This is because signals coming from the remote control at the same time as signals coming from
the VCR Control cable could give unreliable test results.
Be sure to test both the Record and the Stop commands, which are necessary for successful taping
capability. If either Record or Stop fails to function, try other Code s associated with your VCR brand.
If you are unsuccessful in the test process after trying all available codes, recheck your VCR Control
cable connections and IR emitter placement.
