Activating the Cabie Box Controi Function
Your VCR includes a Cable Box Control feature that allows
the VCR to control channel selection on most cable boxes.
Compatible cable box brands are shown on page 26.
The CABLE BOX CONTROL must be set to “ON", and the
code number and the output channel must be set to match
your cable box before you can use it. For details on
connecting your cable box to the VCR to control the cable
box with the Remote Commander, please refer to Hookup 2
on page 8.
When CABLE BOX CONTROL is set to “ON", the VCR will
control the cable box channel for timer recording. In addition,
you can use the VCR’s Remote Commander to change
channels on the cable box whenever the cable box and the
VCR are turned on.
Note
Do not place the cable box on top of the VCR. For best
results, place the cable box as far away from the VCR as
possible.
Note on setting the cable box and Cable Mouse
Make sure that the Cable Mouse is positioned near to and
above the sensor on the cable box so that the signal from
the Cable Mouse is received correctly.
The cable box should not be too close to the VCR.
