Testing your VCR with Cable Box and DBS Manufacturer Numbers
Note:
Use 99 for all other cable boxes.
Using Cable Box and DBS ‘MFR’ Numbers
Before you can use VCR+, you’ll need to test your
VCR and cable box the way:
While following the on-screen instructions for CH
MAP, you will be asked to enter the output channel
of your cable box/DBS and its MFR (Manufacturer)
number. Locate your brand of your cable box/DBS in
the above list and use the first number shown. If
your cable box does not select channel 19 while
you’re testing, try the next MFR number. Keep test-
ing until you have tried all of the MFR numbers for
your brand.
If none of the listed MFR numbers work, you can:
1. Try all MFR numbers available, from 1-63 until
you find a number that works; or
2. Enter 99 for the MFR number to disable cable-
box channel control.
Note:
With 99, your VCR cannot remotely con-
trol the cable box. Keep the cable box on and
preselect the cable-box channel when using VCR
Plus+®C

recording.
