Memorizing Channels Automatically
Using this process, your VCR will automatically memorize all of the
television stations available to you. You can later get rid of
unwanted or unused stations.
You need to manually set the brand code for the a satellite receiver.
I
f your local cable company scrambles some or all stations,
and/or requires you to use a cable box, then your ability to
memorize channels would normally be limited. The cable
box receives all of your channels, then sends only one to
your TV and your VCR, usually on channel 3 or 4.
If you are required to use a cable box, you should choose
Cable box only or Digital Cable box only option in step 4
below and turn the cable box on. Your HS-U577 will use
its Converter Box Control technology to change the
channels on the cable box. Make sure you have properly
placed the IR Emitter (see page 9).
If your cable box or cable system seems incompatible
with your new VCR, call your cable company. They may
be able to provide solutions to your problems.
