The following procedure is required if you receive satellite channels
through a DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) Receiver. The Controller
allows the recorder to automatically switch the DBS Receiver's
channels during timer recording.
NOTES:
●
The recorder can automatically change the DBS Receiver
channels using the controller when the recorder has been
programmed using Express Timer Programming (
੬
pg. 58).
Because satellite programming does not use PlusCode; the
Controller cannot change the DBS Receiver channels during
the VCR Plus+ Timer Recording.
●
If a cable box is also used it is recommended that you
connect the DBS receiver to your recorder’s A/V inputs and
the cable box to your recorder’s antenna input.

Suggested Location
Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver on top of the
recorder. Attach the recorder’s Controller to the top of the
recorder with the Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the
DBS receiver's remote sensor.
ATTENTION:
The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS
receiver and a cable box are used, position the controller so its
signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the DBS
receiver and cable box.
About Your DBS Receiver
This recorder has two separate methods to control your DBS
Receiver.
●
The recorder’s Wireless Remote Control Unit can control the
power and channel functions of your DBS Receiver.
For these functions, the need for a separate DBS Receiver
Control Unit is eliminated.
●
The recorder’s Controller can also control your DBS Receiver.
This allows the recorder to change your DBS receiver's
channel number during timer recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the recorder’s
Remote Control unit, refer to page 84. To set up the Controller
go to page 19.
