This 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 shows
that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (Z pg. 44) or
On-Screen Timer Programming (Z pg. 46).

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 61. To set up the Controller
go to page 16.

Suggested Location
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 DSS receiver. If both a cable
box and a DSS receiver are used, position the controller so its
signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the cable box
and DSS receiver.
