• If your Cable Box does not respond
to any of the codes at step 7, the
Controller will not change channels
at the Cable Box during a timer
recording. You must select the chan-
nel to be recorded at the Cable Box
before a timer recording begins.
Enter the Cable Box output channel
(03 or 04) at step 3 on page 38.
Leave the Cable Box on for the
timer recording. See page eight for
details. You may want to exchange
your current Cable Box for one that
can be controlled by the VCR’s
Controller.

at the Cable Box only during a timer
recording.
