Controlling a Cable Box or a Satellite Receiver
Controlling a Cable Box or a Satellite Receiver
The SAT¥CABLE button on the VCRÕs remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible RCA cable box or a ProScan, RCA, or GE satellite receiver. If your cable box or satellite receiver is another manufacturerÕs brand and has its own remote, you will probably be able to program the VCRÕs remote to control your cable box. To program the VCRÕs remote, enter the code that corresponds to your brand.
Program the Remote for a Cable Box
1.Turn on the cable box.
2.Point the VCR remote at the cable box.
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 turns off, setup is complete.
6.Repeat steps 2 Ð 5 with a different code if the first one does not work.
