Setting up the
cable box control
(Skip this section if you are
using Hookup 2, 3, 4, or 6.)
Your VCR includes a cable box control
feature that allows the VCR to control
most brands of cable boxes/DIRECTV
digital satellite receivers via the Cable
Mouse. With the cable box control, the
VCR controls channels on the cable box/
DIRECTV digital satellite receiver for
timer recording. You can also use the
VCR’s remote commander to change
channels on the cable box/DIRECTV
digital satellite receiver whenever the
cable box/DIRECTV digital satellite
receiver is turned on even if the VCR is
turned off. To use cable box control, you
need to connect the Cable Mouse (pages
11 and 27) 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 at the time
this VCR was manufactured. It is
possible that new cable boxes may be
introduced that cannot be controlled
with this VCR’s 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.
