Using the Remote Control

Controlling a Cable Box or a Satellite Receiver

The SAT¥CABLE button on the VCRÕs remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible RCA cable box or a
ProScan, RCA, or GE satellite receiver. If your cable box or satellite receiver is another manufacturerÕs brand and has its
own remote, you will probably be able to program the VCRÕs remote to control your cable box. To program the VCRÕs
remote, enter the code that corresponds to your brand.

Program the Remote for a Cable Box

1. Turn on the cable box.

2. Point the VCR remote at the cable box.

3. Hold the SAT¥CABLE button and press three number buttons to enter the code for your brand.

4. Release the buttons.

5. Press PWR on the remote. If the cable box turns off, setup is complete.

6. Repeat steps 2 Ð 5 with a different code if the first one does not work.

Operate the Cable Box or Satellite Receiver

After you have setup your remote (if required) to control your cable box, test the buttons to see which ones operate your
cable box or satellite receiver.

1. Point the remote at the cable box or satellite receiver and press SAT¥CABLE.

2. If the cable box does not turn on in step 1, press SAT¥CABLE and then PWR.

3. Use the ÒCable Box or Receiver Function ButtonsÓ for the cable box and test the ÒTV Function ButtonsÓ to see

which ones operate the satellite receiver. (See page 21.)
