Setting up cable box
control
(Skip this section if you are using
Hookup 2, 3, or 4)
Your VCR includes a cable box control feature which allows the VCR to
control most brands of cable boxes/DSS receivers via the Cable Mouse.
With cable box control, the VCR controls channels on the cable box/DSS
receivers for timer recording. You can also use the VCR’s remote
commander to change channels on the cable box/DSS receiver
whenever the cable box/DSS receiver is turned on even if the VCR is
turned off. To use cable box control, you need to connect the Cable
Mouse (page 14) and set the code number and output channel.
This VCR is programmed with codes necessary to control channel
selection on most brands of cable boxes at the time this VCR was
manufactured. It is possible that new cable boxes may be introduced
that cannot be controlled with this VCR’s Cable Mouse. If you have a
cable box that is incompatible with this VCR, contact your cable
operator –– they may be able to provide you with a compatible cable
box.
