Using the Remote Control
Controlling a Cable Box
The CABLE button on the VCR’s remote is preprogrammed to control a compatible RCA
cable box. If your cable box is another manufacturer’s brand and has its own remote, you
will probably be able to program the VCR’s remote to control your cable box. To program
the VCR’s remote, enter the code that corresponds to your brand.
Program the remote
1. Turn on the cable box.
2. Point the VCR remote at
the cable box.
3. Hold the 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 – 4 with a
different code if the first
one does not work.
Operate the Cable Box
After you set up your remote to control your cable box, test the buttons to see which ones
operate your cable box.
1. Point the remote at the cable box and press CABLE.
2. If the cable box does not turn on in step 1, press CABLE, then POWER.
3. Use the “Cable Box Function Buttons” for the cable box. See page 13.
