Using the Remote Control

Controlling a Cable Box or Satellite Receiver

The SAT•CABLE button on the VCRÕs remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible RCA cable box or satellite receiver. If your cable box or receiver is another manufacturerÕs brand and has its own remote, you will probably be able to program the VCRÕs remote to control it. To program the VCRÕs remote, enter the code that corresponds to your brand.

Program the Remote for a Cable Box or Satellite Receiver

1. Turn on the cable box or satellite receiver.

2. Point the VCR remote at the cable box or receiver.

3. Hold the SAT¥CABLE button and press three number buttons to enter the code for your brand.

4. Release the buttons.

5.Press PWR on the remote. If the cable box or receiver turns off, setup is complete.

6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 with a different code if the first one does not work.
