Setting Up Your VCR (cont'd)
Setting your VCR's tuner and Cable Box Controller
Follow these steps if you use an external Cable Box (descrambler) to receive cable stations. When properly set-up, the Multi-System
Cable Box Controller will automatically switch channels on your Cable Box so you can timer-record two or more cable TV stations. It
works for Cable TV sliows that'have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (> p. 28) or On-Screen (c> p. 30) programming.
Suggested Locations
Attach to top of VCR with Controller's transmitter pointed towards
