AUTO INSTALLATION
SATELLITE RECEIVER / CABLE BOX CONTROL
If you have a satellite receiver or cable box connected to your VCR you can automatically
install the satellite channels using this feature. The installation procedure for cable boxes is the
same as for satellite receivers (for cable box connections refer to your cable box manual).
Follow steps 1-4 below before INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
Connect your satellite receiver to the VCR as previously shown.
1.
2.
Place the satellite receiver near the VCR (ideally on the top). This ensures that the
reflected infrared signals from the VCR which control the satellite receiver can reach it
unimpeded.
3.
Ensure all the channels you wish to be tuned are within channel positions 1-199 on your
satellite receiver as the VCR will only tune the first 199 channels - refer to your satellite
receiver operation manual for instructions on moving channels.
Ensure the receiver is not in any special mode.
4.
• The satellite channels can now be tuned in as part of the auto-installation procedure.
You will be prompted for further information from the on-screen displays.
• SHARP cannot guarantee this feature will work with all satellite receivers and cable
boxes.
• See the list of satellite receiver manufacturers codes at the end of this manual.
All information relevant to satellite receiver control will display this symbol.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
These models automatically tune the TV channels for your area, then using Teletext
information sort the TV channels into a standard order and set the clock.
Turn the TV on and select the video channel . (As previously explained)

IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO
TAPES
VIDEO TAPES
•If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the
video heads.
•If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide
from the tape may "clog" the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be
"snowy", or even disappear.
•To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you
will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning
is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
•Use video tapes which carry the mark.
