Online User Manual:  R5000-HD DVR


STB initiated recordings

The R5000-HD can be set as a slave to your STB receiver, making recordings as set by their VCR timers. As previously explained, there are no additional IR receivers that need to be setup. All interfacing is self-contained and the signals are transferred via the USB connection to the R5000-HD. In order to use this feature, match the VCR code with the one chosen in your STBs configuration/preferences menu.

The checkbox must be enabled to use this mode. The status box will then change to "Waiting for Code...". Once the STB timer fires, and the record code is captured the status will display "REC Received".

Likewise when the stop command is sent out the status displays "STOP Received". You may also see "Unknown Command". This can happen if the code selection on the R5000-HD pull-down doesn't match that of the STB or if there is an irrelevant command received. Some receivers send out power on/off commands and rewind commands in addition to record and stop.

See your receiver's user manual to find out how to set the VCR code and program their event timers. In order to eliminate the possibility of interacting with your VCR, 2 codes are available on the R5000-HD for each receiver type.
