(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/DSS receivers via an
optional Cable Mouse. With cable box
control, the VCR controls channels on the
cable box/DSS receiver for timer
recording. You can also use the VCR's
remote commander to change channels on
the cable box / DSS receiver whenever the
cable box/DSS receiver is turned on even if
the VCR is turned off. To use cable box
control, you need to connect the Sony RM-
CMlOl Cable Mouse (not supplied) (pages
10 and 22) 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
carmot be controlled with the RM-CMIOI
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.
