Setting Up the Receiver to Control Your VCR
Use this section to set up the receiver to
control your VCR so that you can use VCR

signal can bounce off walls and other objects on its way from
the receiver. However,
shelves or smoked glass between the receiver and VCR can block th
e signal. Make sure
nothing blocks the signal and that you don’t have the VCR too far away fro
m the receiver.
