This procedure is required if you receive your TV channels
through a cable box (descrambler). The Cable Box Controller
allows the VCR to automatically switch the cable box channel
during timer-recording. The Cable Box Controller is effective for
recording shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+
(੬ pg. 40) or On-Screen Timer Programming (੬ pg. 42).

About Your Cable Box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box.
●
The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your
Cable Box.
This eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote
Control Unit.
●
The VCR's Cable Box Controller can also control your Cable Box.
This allows the VCR to change your Cable Box's channel
number during timer recording.
Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's
Remote Control unit, refer to page 56. To set up the Cable Box
Controller go to page 17.
Suggested Location
Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR's Cable
Box Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s
transmitter pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.
