Cable Box and/or DBS Receiver Control 
Setting

The following procedure is required if you receive your TV 
channels through a cable box (descrambler) and/or if you receive 
satellite channels through DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) 
receiver. The Controller allows the VCR to automatically switch 
the cable box or DBS receiver’s channel during timer recording. 

NOTES:

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.

For the cable box, the Controller is effective for VCR Plus+ or 
Express timer programing.

For the DBS receiver, the Controller is effective only for Express 
timer programing.

When connecting your cable box or DBS receiver, refer to its 
instruction manual.

A

Situate Controller

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.

B

Attach Controller

Fix securely using the adhesive strip attached on the back of the 
Controller.

C

Connect cable box and/or DBS receiver to VCR

If your cable box or DBS receiver does not have audio/video 
output connectors, connect the RF output terminal on the unit to 
the ANT. IN terminal on the rear of your VCR.

If your cable box or DBS receiver has audio/video output 
connectors, connect an audio/video cable between the AUDIO/
VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio/
video output connectors on the unit.

If both a cable box and a DBS receiver are used, it is 
recommended that you connect the DBS receiver to your VCR’s 
AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors and the cable box to your VCR’s 
ANT. IN connector.

Turn on the VCR and TV, and select the VCR channel (or AV 
mode).

After a power failure occurs, band selection will be reset to 
“CATV”.

Turn on the VCR and TV, and select the VCR channel (or AV 
mode).
