Using the Remote Control
Controlling a Cable Box or a Digital Satellite System Receiver
The SAT•CABLE button on the VCRÕs remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible RCA cable box or GE or RCA digital satellite system receiver. If your cable box is another manufacturerÕs brand and has its own remote, you will probably be able to program the VCRÕs remote to control your cable box. To program the VCRÕs remote, enter the code that corresponds to your brand.
Program the Remote
1. Turn on the cable box.
2. Point the VCR remote at the cable box.
3. Hold the SAT¥CABLE button and press two number buttons to enter the code for your brand.
4. Release the buttons.
5. Press POWER on the remote. If the cable box turns off, setup is complete.
6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 with a different code if the first one does not work.
