Setting Up Cable Box Channel - RCA F27703 User Manual

Setting Up Cable Box Channel

The CABLE CHAN function lets you
program to which channel the TV
will automatically tune when you
press the DSS•CABLE button on the
remote. This is handy if you want to
®
connect a DSS receiver or other
satellite receiver, or if your cable
company requires you to connect a
cable box to your TV. You will no
longer have to remember the output
®
channel of the DSS receiver or
cable box because the TV will
remember for you.
For example, if you connect a cable
box to the TV's CABLE/ANTENNA
connector (as shown on page 25),
you will no longer have to remember
to select channel 2, 3, or 4 on the TV
to see what's coming from the cable
box. By entering the cable box's
output channel (usually 02, 03, or 04)
next to the CABLE CHAN function,
the TV will automatically tune to that
channel each time you press the
DSS•CABLE button on the remote.
This function is especially convenient
if you have a remote-controllable
cable box that can be operated by the
DSS•CABLE button on the remote (as
described on page 26). Pressing the
DSS•CABLE button will then not
only switch the remote to cable mode
but will also automatically tune the
TV to the proper channel for viewing
the picture from the cable box.
