IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS  
Save Original Packing Materials  
The original shipping carton and packing materials will come in handy if you ever have to ship  
your VCR. For maximum protection, repack the set as it was originally packed at the factory.

damage, do not use the unit for at least 2 hours when there is an extreme or sudden change  
in temperature.

RECORDING  
DSS® Satellite Receiver Set-up  
The VCR can directly control channel selecting of the connected DSS® satellite receiver.  
DSS® Satellite Receiver Control  
This VCR needs to be connected to a DSS®  
satellite receiver equipped with an infrared  
wireless remote control. You can select  
satellite channels from the DSS® satellite  
receiver by operating this VCR.  
Connection Type  
Type A  
Satellite

DSS® is registered trademark of DIRECTV,  
Inc., a unit of GM Hughes Electronics.

4CH  
DSS® satellite receiver

It is also possible to automatically change  
the satellite channels according to your  
program setting in the timer program  
recording.  
RF OUT  
Placing the DSS® Satellite  
Receiver  
Type B  
Put the DSS® satellite receiver on the top of  
the VCR as shown below. Do not block the  
sensor window.

Front of the VCR  
Sensor window  
The infrared signals come out of the sensor  
window and the front of the VCR. Then they  
bounce off walls and other objects in the  
room and are received by the DSS® satellite  
receiver. The VCR sends out infrared  
signals to your DSS® satellite receiver even  
during timer program recording.  
LINE OUT  
Notes  
• If the channels cannot be controlled properly  
because the infrared signal fails to reach the DSS®  
satellite receiver, change the position of the  
receiver on the VCR so that it can receive the  
signal.  
• Keep the DSS® satellite receiver turned on even  
while the VCR is in the timer program recording.
