Basic Operations (VCR Plus + Recording) - 46 -
SET tells the VCR how to record or to view programs from the cable box. If your cable
box can be controlled by a remote, the VCR may be able to tune it to the channel you
want to record or to view. Before you begin, you need to know the output channel
number for your cable box. Usually this is either 03 or 04, but it could be 02 through 13.
Consult your cable company if you're not sure.
