Controlling a Cable Box or an RCA DSS ® Receiver*
The CABLE button on the VCR's remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible
RCA cable box or satellite receiver. If your cable box is another manufacturer's brand and has its own remote, you will probably be able to program the VCR's remote to control your
cable box. To program the VCR's 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 GABLE 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 - 4 with a
different code if the first one does not work.
