With some satellite receivers, it is necessary to wait a few
seconds between selecting one channel and selecting
another one with the remote control of the VCR.

If the display on the satellite receiver does not indicate

To Prepare the Satellite Receiver
To make it possible for the VCR to control the satellite
receiver, the satellite receiver must be left in a certain
condition. This condition is called standby type, and it differs
depending on the make and model of satellite receiver. There
are five standby types (A, B, C, D, E) as listed below.
Find your satellite receiver in the enclosed list of compatible
satellite receivers and note its standby type. Then look up this
standby type in the chart below and determine which
action(s) you need to take to prepare your satellite receiver
so that this VCR can control it.
Action 1: Switch the satellite receiver on.
Action 2: Twin-tuner type satellite receiver: Select on the
tuner which is connected to the VCR.
(Please also refer to the satellite receiver’s
operating instructions.)
Action 3: Switch the satellite receiver’s channel display to the
2-digit display mode.
