I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
Quick response and exactly what I was looking for and at a great fair price!

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.
