VCR
Tips
Provide
basic diagrams and instructions for setup and use of a VCR
with our RG device, located in your home. In most cases,
the setup will require 3 remote control devices per TV/VCR
combo: 1 RG remote, which is provided with our RG; 1 VCR
remote, which comes with store purchased VCR's; and 1 TV
remote, which comes with store purchased TV's.
For
each setup, be sure that the coaxial cable routes out of
the RG and through your VCR before connecting to your TV.
Also try to program your VCR with the current date and
time, following instructions provided with your VCR.
In all
cases, when you are finished using your VCR, it will be
necessary for you to revert back to the BASIC TV/VCR setup
as shown below.
Basic
TV and VCR setup
Using
the illustration above, place and wire your VCR between
the RG and TV in each instance of a TV/VCR combination.
Also, check the back of the VCR to be sure the "TV" switch
is correctly positioned, and that the VCR and TV are correctly
tuned (using remote controls that came with each device).
To watch
TV and change channels, use the RG remote. It is not necessary
to have the VCR turned on to watch TV.
Playing
a VCR Tape and Recording and Watching the Same Show
To play
a tape: on TV-1, simply insert the tape and press play.
On TV-2 and/or TV-3, change the TV channel to 3 (using
the TV remote or the buttons on the TV), insert tape and
press play.
To record
and watch the same show: follow the same TV/VCR tuning
instructions as illustrated above. Then using the RG remote
control, change the channel to the show you wish to watch/record,
insert a tape and press record on your VCR.
Be
sure to re-tune the VCR according to the Basic TV diagram
when finished recording.
Watching
One Show while Recording Another Show At the Same Time
This
function requires the use of two TV Streams and two RG
remotes.
Follow
the simple illustration above for tuning your VCR and TV.
Then use the second RG remote control (from TV-2 or TV-3)
to find the show you wish to record, insert a tape and
press record on your VCR. Then using your VCR remote, press
your TV/VCR button OFF.
Now,
using your RG remote control from TV-1, you can change
the television to watch a different show.
Note:
it is a good idea to label your RG remote controls before
moving them throughout the house.
Be
sure to re-tune the VCR according to the Basic TV diagram
when finished recording.
Timed
Program Recording While at Home or Away, With TV Off
Using
your VCR instruction booklet, follow instructions for programming
time, date and timed program recording.
Program
your VCR to record channel 4. Then use the RG remote to
auto tune (see Automatic Tune instructions).
Important:
If you wish to record a program while the TV is turned
off, then use the TV power button on the face of the TV.
Do not use the green power button on the RG remote, as
this will turn off the Stream to the VCR as well.
