Setting up cable box control

(Skip this section if you are using Hookup 2, 3, 4 or 6.)

Your VCR includes a cable box control feature that allows the VCR to control most brands of cable boxes/DSS receivers via an optional Cable Mouse. With cable box control, the VCR controls channels on the cable box/DSS receiver for timer recording. You can also use the VCR’s remote commander to change channels on the cable box/DSS receiver whenever the cable box/DSS receiver is turned on even if the VCR is turned off. To use cable box control, you need to connect the Sony RM-CM101 Cable Mouse (not supplied) (pages 10 and 22) and set the code number and output channel.
