About Your Cable Box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box.
●The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your Cable Box.
This eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote Control Unit.
●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 Control unit, refer to page 49. To set up the Controller go to page 17.
