Connecting the VCR control cable
The VCR control cable allows your DIRECTV ® HD Receiver to automatically program your
VCR to record a TV program.
By selecting a Record option from the on-screen Program Guide, you can direct the VCR
control cable to flash signals to the VCR’s remote control sensor programming the VCR to
tape a TV program for you.
To connect the VCR control cable to your DIRECTV ® HD Receiver, follow these steps:
1 Plug the VCR control cable into the VCR CONTROL jack on the back of the
DIRECTV
® HD Receiver.
2 Remove the backing tape from the adhesive on the other end of the VCR control cable.
Stick the VCR control next to the remote control sensor on your VCR. (See the manual for
your VCR if you are not sure where its remote sensor is located.)
NOTE
Before you can use the VCR control cable to program your VCR, you must set up the VCR control.
See Setting up the VCR control in Chapter 5 for details.
