Cable Box Control

Suggested Location

15

This procedure is required if you receive your TV channels through a cable box (descrambler). The Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch the cable box channel during timer-recording. The Controller is effective for recording shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (☞ pg. 44) or On-Screen Timer Programming (☞ pg. 46).

Situate And Connect

Controller

Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR's Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.

Attention:

The Controller can also control a DSS receiver. If both a cable box and a DSS receiver are used, position the controller so its signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the cable box and DSS receiver.

About Your Cable Box

This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box.

●The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your Cable Box.

This eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote Control Unit.

●The VCR's Controller can also control your Cable Box.

This allows the VCR to change your Cable Box's channel number during timer recording.

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's Remote Control unit, refer to page 61. To set up the Controller go to page 16.
