NOTES:

Although the supplied Controller is compatible with many different cable box brands, it is possible that it will not work with your cable box.

If your cable box doesn’t respond to any code between 1 and 69, you can’t use the Controller to change cable box channels. In this case, make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.

Please contact your cable company about the possibility of exchanging your current cable box with one that is compat- ible with your VCR.

The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the Controller during timer recording.

If your cable box is one that can’t be operated with a remote control (because it has no remote sensor), you can’t use the Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.

For customers in U.S.A.: If you are unable to set the Control- ler, please contact JVC toll free at 1-800-252-5722.
