BOX
BOX
If you have a satellite receiver connected to your VCR you can automatically install the
satellite channels using the following installation procedure.
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 continuing with the installation:
1.
Connect your satellite receiver to the VCR as previously shown.
2.
Place the satellite receiver near the VCR (ideally on the top).
3.
Ensure the receiver is not in any special mode and switched on.
4.
Ensure all the channels you wish to be tuned are within channel positions 1-199 on your
satellite receiver (not applicable to digital). The VCR will only tune up to the first 199
channels - refer to your satellite receiver operation manual for instructions on moving
channels.
•
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.
All information relevant to satellite receiver control will display this symbol.
