RCA VR539 - Manual (Page 18)

The CABLE button on the VCR’s remote is preprogrammed to control either a compatible RCA cable box or an RCA DSS satellite
receiver. If the cable box is another manufacturer’s brand and it has its own remote, then you may be able to program the VCR’s
remote to control the cable box. To program the remote for another manufacturer’s cable box, enter the code that corresponds to your
brand.
