This digital satellite receiver has the added advantage of being compatible with the Hughes HDR-205
D-VHS video recorder. This recorder allows you to record DIRECTV System programming in the
highest quality possible. This is because the D-VHS records the actual digital signal, rather than a
converted analog signal. The advantage to this is that every time you play the tape back, you will be
able to enjoy it in the same fidelity in which it was originally broadcast.
Connecting the Digital A/V Cable
Before the features that are described in this chapter can be accessed, you must have correctly
connected a D-VHS video deck to your digital satellite receiver by way of a digital A/V cable. If you
connect this cable after the digital satellite receiver or D-VHS deck has been powered on, it may take
several seconds for each unit to detect that the connection has been made.
{ XE "Hookup:VCR Control" } { XE "VCR:control cable" } With the proper connections you can have
your digital satellite receiver control your VCR for unattended recording. First, you will need to plug
the digital A/V cable into the back of your digital satellite receiver. Then connect the other end of the
digital A/V cable to your D-VHS VCR.
VCR Setup
The VCR SETUP screen is used to specify the record mode that you will want to use most often. This
screen replaces the VCR SETUP screen that is described in the
chapter, “Your Receiver’s Menu System.” A D-VHS VCR and a
standard VCR cannot be controlled at the same time.
Things to do on the VCR SETUP screen
From the D-VHS VCR SETUP screen you can change the default
Recording Type and review the current status of the D-VHS
recorder.
Recording Type
The Recording Type setting is for where you do not explicitly
specify the recording mode for recordings initiated through your
digital satellite receiver. By default, the recording setting is
“Digital.” This is because you have most likely purchased a D-VHS
ready digital satellite receiver and a D-VHS video deck to take advantage of the digital recording
feature. If you will be recording programs that will be played back on a non-D-VHS you may choose
to change this setting to “Analog EP” or “Analog SP” for compatibility. Keep in mind that whenever
you schedule a recording event you can change the record type to be the different from the default, if
so desired.
