If you cannot get the recorder to control your cable box/satellite receiver

Check the settings at “Set Top Box Control” in “Settings” setup (page 90). If more than one code number is listed for your cable box/satellite receiver, try entering them one at a time until you find the one that works with your cable box/ satellite receiver.

Check the connection and position of the set top box controller (page 15).

If your cable box or satellite receiver still does not operate with this recorder, contact your cable or satellite company to see if they can provide you with a compatible cable box or satellite receiver.
