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 programmed using VCR Plus+ (
Z
pg. 30) or
Express timer programing (
Z
pg. 34).
NOTE:
ONLY FOR HR-S3800U: The Controller is not supplied with this
unit. It can be requested by mailing in the completed JVC Cable
Mouse Certificate that is included with the accessory package.
Installing Controller

Situate Controller
Place the Controller so that its transmitter is
facing the cable box’s remote sensor.
c
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.

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.
c
The VCR’s wireless Remote can control your cable box.
This eliminates the need for a separate cable box’s
Remote.
c
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 51. To set up the Controller, go to
page 16.
