In the notes section put "MIDI-MMC Wireless Remote".

This unit controls the standard transport controls (Play, Stop, F.F., Rew and Record). It uses any standard universal remote programmed to control a Sony VCR and controls the deck via MIDI Machine Control Commands.

Instructions

Installation: Turn off the power to the tape deck. Plug the remote adapter into the MIDI in connector on the back of the tape deck. Plug the AC adapter into the wall socket and into the back fo the remote adapter. Now power can be turned back on. The light on the front of the remote adapter should be on.

The remote adapter controls the standard 5 transport functions: Play, Stop, F.F., Rewind and Record. All functions can be controlled using any universal remote programmed for the proper Sony VCR code.

You may need to enable MIDI, MIDI-MMC and set the MIDI device ID on the deck before it works. Consult the owner's manual for the deck for instructions on how to configure the various MIDI settings. On the Tascam DTRS decks MIDI should be set to ON and MIDI ID should be set to 1.

The remote adapter can be programmed to respond to Sony VHS VCR, Beta VCR, 8mm VCR and Laser Disc Player codes. To select between the four options there are two jumpers inside the unit. Remove the two screws on the bottom of the unit and remove the top cover.

Toward the front window are two jumpers labeled 1 and 2. They configure the remote device code per the table below.

* = Default jumper selection

Configuring the DirecTV Universal Remote
