Setting up 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/DSS
receivers via the 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 Cable Mouse (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 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.
