Video Plus+ Codes for Satellite
Receivers/Cable TV
For the United Kingdom:
This unit 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+ Codes for Satellite stations. The Satellite
receiver or Cable TV box must be switched 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 unit to recognise the Video Plus+ Codes for each satellite
station, you must teach your unit 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
unit does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the
channel/AV input once the unit will remember it whenever you use a
Video Plus+ Code for the station again.
