Step 7 : Setting up the cable box control
(Skip this section if you are
using Hookup 1, 2, or 3.)
Your VCR includes a cable box control
feature that allows the VCR to control cable
boxes or digital satellite receivers equipped
with an infrared remote control. With the
cable box control, the VCR controls channels
on the cable box or digital satelite 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 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 this VCR. 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.
