Setting up the cable box control (continued)
To check the cable box control setting
1
Press CH +/– on the remote commander. Does the channel indicator
on the cable box/DIRECTV digital satellite receiver change? (Point the
remote commander at the VCR, not at the cable box/DIRECTV digital
satellite receiver.)
2
Press all 10 number buttons (0 to 9) on the remote commander. Does
the channel indicator on the cable box/DIRECTV digital satellite
receiver change?
If the answer to both 1 and 2 is "yes," you have made the correct setting.
If you cannot get your VCR to control the cable box/DIRECTV digital
satellite receiver
• Check that the Cable Mouse is connected to the CABLE BOX CONTROL
jack on the VCR.
• Check the position of the Cable Mouse.
• Place the cable box/DIRECTV digital satellite receiver and VCR away
from each other. Do not place the cable box/DIRECTV digital satellite
receiver on top of the VCR.
• Try the setup again making sure to use the correct control code. If the
cable box still does not respond, try the other codes that are listed.
If your cable box still does not operate with the Cable Mouse, contact your
cable company to see if they can provide you with a compatible cable box.
Note
• Make sure you turn off the VCR when you plug in or unplug the Cable Mouse. If
you unplug the Cable Mouse and plug it in again, turn on the VCR before you use
the cable box/DIRECTV digital satellite receiver control feature.
