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 47. To set up the Controller, go to page 16.
