older type).
You cannot successfully record
G-Code programmed using this
type of decoder. (Unless your

2. IRD Decoder (supplied with Sky
Remote and with
UHFoutput).
This decoder allows you to
programme recordings using the
G-Code function. You can use the
Sky CODE NUMBERS to record
Sky TV programmed with your
VCR. However, please note the
following limitations.
[a)The Sky CODENUMBERS used
with the VCR can not change the
channels on the Sky Decoder.
This means you must first
preselect the Sky channel you
want to record (movies, sport,
news)
[b)TheVCRwill thenturnonand

The Sky channel you record
(movies, sport, news) will depend
on which channel the decoder was
left on,
[c) Remember the first time you use a
Sky CODE NUMBER, the
programme position number
(“PR”) on the video needs to be
set the same for all three Sky
channels.
This will depend on the programme
position number you allocated for
Sky in the setup. ie programme
