This procedure is required if you receive your TV channels
through a cable box (descrambler). The Controller allows the
VCR to automatically switch the cable box channel during
timer-recording. The Controller is effective for recording shows
that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (੬ pg. 38) or
On-Screen Timer Programming (੬ pg. 40).

The connection method depends on the type of cable
box you have.
If your cable box has AUDIO and VIDEO OUT
connectors . . .
. . . connect them to the AUDIO and VIDEO IN
connectors on your VCR; if you use the input connec-
tors other than the rear panel AUDIO and VIDEO OUT
connectors, be sure to select the correct external input
mode as described in step 4, 5, 9 – 11 on page 46. Set
the VCR to channel "AU" to use the cable box.
If your cable box doesn’t have AUDIO and VIDEO
OUT connectors . . .
. . . connect the antenna output connector on the cable
box to the ANT.IN connector on the rear of your VCR.
Set the VCR tuner to the same channel as the cable box
RF output (see page 16 also).
NOTE:
Refer to your cable box’s instruction manual during
connection.

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 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 49. To set up the Controller
go to page 16.

Suggested Location
Place the cable box on top of the VCR. Attach the VCR's
Controller to the top of the VCR with the Controller’s transmitter
pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.
Attention:
The Controller can also control a DBS receiver. If both a cable
box and a DBS receiver are used, position the controller so its
signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the cable box
and DBS receiver.
