Connecting the VCR Control Cable
With the proper connections you can have the digital satellite receiver control your VCR for
unattended recording. First, plug the VCR Control cable into the back of the digital
satellite receiver. Then proceed to the next section to determine where the other
end of the cable should be attached.
Finding the VCR’s Remote Control Sensor
So that the digital satellite receiver can control your VCR, the emitter end of the VCR control cable
must be attached where the VCR’s remote control sensor is located.
This is labeled on some VCRs. You may also find a diagram in your
VCR manual indicating the sensor position. It is commonly
identifiable by a small dark plastic window. For reference, see the
sensor on the digital satellite receiver located in the center.
If the sensor is not labeled or documented, you will need to scan the
front of your VCR with your VCR remote control. Use the following
procedure to accomplish this:
•
Hold the VCR remote control about ½-inch from the front left
side of your VCR.
•
Slowly move the remote control to the right repeatedly pressing
the remote control’s power key on and off.
•
Once your VCR responds to your pressing the remote control
power, note the position. This should be the location of your
VCR IR sensor.
Once the sensor position has been determined, temporarily attach the emitter to the area with a piece of
tape until the system can be tested. Refer to the “VCR Setup” section in the chapter “DIRECTV
PLUS™ Digital Satellite Receiver’s Menu System” to program and test the VCR Control feature.
Upon verifying that the VCR control is functioning properly you can remove the tape and permanently
attach the emitter using the peel-and-stick backing. This attachment should not interfere with normal
VCR operation.
Remote Control Extender
Your receiver includes a Remote Control Extender. With the Remote Control Extender, you can have
complete control of your digital satellite receiver and other entertainment system components from
anywhere inside of the house. It converts IR (Infra-Red) signals emitted by the remote control into a
powerful radio signal which is then broadcast up to a distance of 150 feet to the receiver base station.
No tools are needed to install the Remote Extender.
The Remote Control Extender consists of two components; the transmitter “nose cone” (which attaches
to the front of the remote control), and the receiver “base station” (which is placed in the room where
the digital satellite receiver is located).
