About Your Cable Box

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

●The recorder’s Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your Cable Box.

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

●The recorder’s Controller can also control your Cable Box.

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

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the recorder’s Remote Control unit, refer to page 83. To set up the Controller go to page 16.
