I had an SA 3100HD box that had the VCR controller feature. On that box, when you enabled the IR output port, you also had to enter a code in the setup menu for the particular VCR brand you were using.

Okay, I'm stumped by this....
I have a DCT6200 and a Panasonic VCR. I ordered the stick-on
IR emitter, plugged it in to the IR port on the back of
the DCT6200, attached the emitter to the front of the
VCR IR eye, and scheduled a record on my EPG. Nothing
happened....it didn't roll the VCR.
It then occurred to me....how does the DCT6200 know what
make/model of VCR it's controlling? I mean, different
makes and models have different command codes, so how
do you tell the DCT6200 that your VCR is a Panasonic with
such-and-such a code, in the same way that you would program
your remote control with a device code for a specific
make and model?
Am I missing something here? Has anyone else had a problem
getting these IR emitters to work with the DCT6200? Is
there something I'm not doing? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
