CABLE
BOX
The following 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 broadcasts that have
been programed using VCR Plus+ (
墌
pg. 34) or Express
timer programing (
墌
pg. 38).
Installing Controller
1
Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is
facing the cable box’s remote sensor.
●
Make sure the path between the Controller and
the cable box’s remote sensor is not blocked.
2
Attach Controller
Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on
the back of the Controller.
3
Connect cable box to VCR

output connectors
Connect the RF output terminal on the cable
box to the ANTENNA IN terminal on the rear of
your VCR.
●
If your cable box has audio/video output
connectors
Connect an audio/video cable between the
AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of

Setting
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 sensors on both the cable box and
DBS receiver.
How to control the cable box
This VCR has two separate methods to control your cable
box.
●
The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box.
This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s
Remote.
●
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, refer to page 69. To set up the Controller, go to
page 16.
