Using the Remote Control
Controlling a Cable Box or an RCA DSS™* Satellite Receiver

If the cable box is another manufacturer’s brand and it has its own remote, then you may be able to program the VCR’s remote to control the cable box. To program the remote for another manufacturer’s cable box, enter the code that corresponds to your brand.

2. Point the VCR remote at the cable box.
3. Hold the 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.
