Setting up the cable box control (SLV-N80 only)

(Skip this section if you are using Hookup 3, 4, 5, or 6.)

Your VCR includes a cable box control feature that allows the VCR to control most brands of cable boxes or digital satellite receivers via an optional Cable Mouse. With the cable box control, the VCR controls channels on the cable box or digital satellite receiver for timer recording. You can also use the VCR’s remote commander to change channels on the cable box or digital satellite receiver whenever the cable box or digital satellite receiver is turned on even if the VCR is turned off. To use cable box control, you need to connect the Sony RM-CM101 Cable Mouse (not supplied) (pages 11 and 14) and set the code number and output channel.

This VCR is programmed with codes necessary to control channel selection on most brands of cable boxes or digital satellite receivers at the time this VCR was manufactured. It is possible that new cable boxes may be introduced that cannot be controlled with the RM-CM101 Cable Mouse. If you have a cable box that is incompatible with this VCR, contact your cable operator –– they may be able to provide you with a compatible cable box.
