• 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
channel 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 40.
Leave the Cable Box on for the
timer recording. See pages
eight-nine for details. You may want
to exchange your current Cable Box
for one that can be controlled by
the VCR’s Controller.
• The Controller can change channels
at the Cable Box only during a timer
recording.
