To check the cable box control setting
1Press CH +/– on the remote commander. Does the channel indicator on the cable box/DSS receiver change? (Point the remote commander at the VCR, not at the cable box/DSS receiver.)
2Press all 10 number buttons (0 to 9) on the remote commander. Does the channel indicator on the cable box/DSS receiver change?
If the answer to both 1 and 2 is “yes,” you have made the correct setting.
If you cannot get your unit’s VCR to control the cable box/DSS receiver
•Check that the Cable Mouse is connected to the CABLE BOX CONTROL jack on the VCR.
•Check the position of the Cable Mouse.
•Place the cable box/DSS receiver and VCR away from each other. Do not place the cable box/DSS receiver on top of the VCR.
•Try the setup again making sure to use the correct control code. If the cable box still does not respond, try the other codes that are listed.
If your cable box still does not operate with the Cable Mouse, contact your cable company to see if they can provide you with a compatible cable box.
Note
•Make sure you turn off the VCR when you plug in or unplug the Cable Mouse. If you unplug the Cable Mouse and plug it in again, turn on the VCR before you use the cable box/DSS receiver control feature.
