Setting Up Your VCR
Memorizing Channels Automatically
Using this process, your VCR will automatically memorize all of the television stations available to you. You can later get rid of unwanted or unused stations.
If your local cable company scrambles some or all stations, and/or requires you to use a cable box, then your ability to memorize channels would normally be limited. The cable box receives all of your channels, then sends only one to your TV and your VCR, usually on channel 3 or 4.
If your cable box or cable system seems incompatible with your new VCR, call your cable company. They may be able to provide solutions to your problems.
