Setting Up Your VCR (cont'd)

Setting your VCR's tuner and Cable Box Controller

Follow these steps if you use an external Cable Box (descrambler) to receive cable stations. When properly set-up, the Multi-System Cable Box Controller will automatically switch channels on your Cable Box so you can timer-record two or more cable TV stations. It works for Cable TV shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (p. 26) or On-Screen (p. 28) programming.

Suggested Locations

Attach to top of VCR with Controller's transmitter pointed towards Cable Box's remote sensor window.

NOTE:

About Your Cable Box:

This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box. The provided Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your Cable Box. The VCR's Cable Box Controller can also control your Cable Box. The former eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote Control Unit. The latter is to change your Cable Box's channel number during timer recordings. Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's Remote Control Unit p. 31.
