The VCR contains 42 cable box codes (1 - 42). If your cable
box is not listed in the chart, it may be possible to control it
using one of the other (1 - 42) codes. You may want to try
other codes before calling your cable company to see if they
can supply a cable box that is in the chart.
If your cable box is listed in the chart, but does not respond,
first check the placement of the "Cable Mouse" (see page
24), and try placing the cable box and VCR away from each
other (do not place the cable box directly on top of the VCR).
If the cable box still does not respond, you can try other
codes.

2 Press all 10 channel number buttons on the Remote
Commander (0 to 9). Does the channel indicator on the
cable box change?
If the answer to both 1 and 2 is "yes", you have made the
correct setting.

Try the setup again making sure to use the correct code
number.
If, after checking your setup, you are sure that the VCR will
not control your cable box, contact your cable company.

Note
Even if your cable box brand is listed, it is possible that the
VCR may not control your specific cable box. This can
happen if the cable box is very old or the cable box
manufacturer has designed a new box with new channel
code after your VCR was manufactured.
If this is the case, contact your cable company.
