Controlling a Cable Box or a Digital Satellite
System Receiver
The SAT•CABLE button on the VCRÕs remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible RCA cable box or GE
or RCA digital satellite system receiver. If your cable box is another manufacturerÕs brand and has its own remote,
you will probably be able to program the VCRÕs remote to control your cable box. To program the VCRÕs remote,
enter the code that corresponds to your brand.

1. Turn on the cable
box.
2. Point the VCR
remote at the cable
box.
3. Hold the
SAT¥CABLE button
and press two
number buttons to
enter the code for
your brand.
4. Release the buttons.
5. Press POWER on the
remote. If the cable
box turns off, setup is
complete.
6. Repeat steps 2 – 5
with a different code
if the first one does
not work.

After you have set up your remote (if required) to control your cable box, test the
buttons to see which ones operate your cable box or satellite receiver.
