Connecting the VCR controller
Connect the supplied VCR controller to the Media Receiver. This
allows you to preset digital TV programs for recording; see page
48. When the specified time comes, the system in the standby
mode is automatically switched on and the specified TV
program is recorded using the connected VCR or DVD recorder.
• Make sure to leave the VCR power on when presetting TV programs
for recording with the VCR controller.
• Be sure to firmly connect the VCR controller to the VCR control
terminal on the rear of the Media Receiver. If you have mistakenly
connected it to the CONTROL IN or CONTROL OUT terminal, remote
control or other operations may be disabled.
