Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR’s Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.
ATTENTION:
The Controller can also control a DBS receiver. If both a cable box and a DBS receiver are used, position the Controller so its signal reaches the remote sensors on both the cable box and DBS receiver.

BOX
The following procedure is required if you receive your TV channels through a cable box (descrambler). The Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch the cable box channel during timer recording. The Controller is effective for recording broadcasts that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ ( pg. 30) or Express timer programing ( pg. 34).
Installing Controller
1 Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is facing the cable box’s remote sensor.
Make sure the path between the Controller and the cable box’s remote sensor is not blocked.
2 Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the Controller.
3 Connect cable box to VCR
If your cable box does not have audio/video input connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the cable box to the ANT. IN terminal on the rear of your VCR.
If your cable box has audio/video input connectors
Connect an audio/video cable between the AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio/video output connectors on the cable box.
NOTE:
When connecting your cable box, refer to its instruction manual.
4 Connect Controller to VCR Connect the Controller to the CABLE BOX Controller connector on the rear panel.
How to control the cable box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable box.
The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box. This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s Remote.
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, refer to page 46. To set up the Controller, go to page 16.
