Cable Box Control Setting
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 following 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 broadcasts that have been programed using “VCR Plus+® Timer Programing”
( pg. 42) or “Express Timer Programing” ( pg. 46).
Installing Controller
A Situate the Controller.
The Controller can also control a DBS receiver. If both a cable box and a DBS receiver are used, position the Controller so its signal reaches the remote sensors of both the cable box and DBS receiver.
Place the Controller so that the path between its transmitter and the cable box’s remote sensor is unobstructed.

How to control the cable box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable box.
●The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box. This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s Remote.
●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, refer to page 68. To set up the Controller, go to page 21.
