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.
