Selecting a VCR Type
You need to tell the DSS
®
receiver which VCR brand you are using by
selecting Set VCR Type from the Options menu.
The Set VCR Type screen is located in the Options menu.
1. Use the arrows or digit keys to input the correct code for your VCR
brand. The VCR codes are located on page 67.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to make sure that you are using
the correct code. If the VCR automatically stops tape play, then you
know that the receiver and the VCR are communicating. If not,
keep trying the other VCR code numbers for your brand.

Some VCR brands may not be capable of being controlled by
the receiver.
