Check your cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver. If it is tuned to Channel 9 (cable box) or Channel 200 (direct-to-home satellite receiver), this means the VCR is successfully controlling your equipment. Press or to highlight YES then press . If you connected a direct-to-home sat- ellite receiver, proceed now to “Alternate Setup” on Page 18.

If your cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver does not tune to the specified

channel, press or to highlight NO,

then press and start over at Step 6. Try entering a different code assigned to your brand and repositioning the VCR and/or the equipment.

If it still does not tune to the specified chan- nels, this means the VCR cannot be set to automatically turn on and tune your partic- ular equipment to the correct channel

when it begins a timer or VCR Plus+ recording you set — you will need to do that manually (see “Recording” on Page 38). Press MENU/ACTION and pro- ceed to “Alternate Setup” on Page 18.

Note: “Using the VCR’s Remote Control with Your TV and Cable Box or Satellite Receiver” on Page 22 shows you how to use the remote control to operate your cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver.
