10 Set-up for scheduled video recordings
In order for the PMA430 to turn on and off your video device and also change its
channels via its TV cradle, you need to set it up to send the correct infrared codes to
your video cassette recorder (VCR), cable box, or satellite receiver. If you do not
plan on making scheduled recordings, then you do not need to install the IR emitter
or set the infrared emitter code.
Before following the procedure of setting the emitter code, insure that your PMA430 is connected
in the TV Cradle and that the IR emitter cable is plugged in and placed in front of your tuner’s
(VCR, cable box, satellite receiver) infrared receiver. See the TV Cradle instructions for set-up
and for the exact placement of the emitter.
10.1 Part 1 : Choose your Category, Brand, and Model
In the Settings tab, go to the application VideoCorder Settings.
1. Select the category of device that you want the IR Emitter to control. You have the choice of
a VCR (video cassette recorder), Cable Box, or Satellite Receiver.
2. Select the brand of your device.
3. Select the first code in the list of codes.
Test: Power Toggle : When you click on this test button, the PMA430 will send a signal to the
TV Cradle, which will then send a signal out to the Infrared Emitter stuck to your device (TV,
VCR, Cable box) and turn your device on and off. Click this test button again and your device
should change from on to off or off to on. If pressing this button does not turn on and off your
device, choose the next code in the list, and try again. If none of the codes seem to work, check
that the infrared emitter is directly over the infrared sensor on your tuner device

10.2 Part 2: Testing the channel changer
Test: Channel Input : When you press the Test: Channel Input button the PMA430 will send a
signal through the cradle to the Infrared Emitter stuck to your device and change the channel. If
the Number of digits parameter is set to three, it will try to select channel 123. If that parameter is
set to 2, it will send the code for channel 12. If the test does not change the channel on your tuner,
go back to the IR Transmitter tab and try the next available code for your category and brand of
product.
Parameter Description
Use -/-- Key: Set this to On if normally, you have to press a key with this icon on your device’s remote
control in order to select a channel.
Number of digits Set the number of digits that your device can recognize for a channel. Example: Set to 3
if you need to choose a channel greater than channel 99.
Use Enter Key Set this to On if normally, you have to press the Enter key on your device’s remote
control after you enter the channel number. Example: If you normally press 1, 3, Enter
for channel 13, then you would need to set this parameter to On.
Delay after each
digit
Change the delay between the emission of each digit of a channel. You may need to
adjust this if the PMA430 seems to send only half the digits of a channel or more digits of
a channel. Example: Adjust the key delay and retest channel select if it sends channel
1 instead of 12 or sends 112 instead of 12.
10.3 Part 3: Give your channels a name
For your convenience, you can name any of the channels and the PMA430 will remember their
names.
