This VCR is not designed to control (switch on or change channel) your satellite receiver or Cable TV box, however, it can be
taught to recognise VIDEO Plus+ Cod es for Satel lite stati ons. The Sat ellite rec eiver or Cabl e TV box mu st be sw itched on and the
correct station selected. Some receivers have their own timer facility for this purpose. Please refer to your Satellite Receiver/
Cable TV box instructions for use of such timer facilities.
For your VCR to recognise the VIDEO Plus+ Codes for each satellite station, you must teach your VCR which channel or AV
input to record from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording, the [ss] symbol will appear in the
channel position indicating that the VCR does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the channel/AV input
once the VCR will remember it whenever you use a VIDEO Plus+ Code for the station again.
