The VCR contains 42 cable box codes (1 - 42). If your cable
box is not listed in the chart, it may be possible to control it
using one of the other (1 - 42) codes. You may want to try
other codes before calling your cable company to see if they
can supply a cable box that is in the chart.
If your cable box is listed in the chart, but does not respond,
first check the placement of the "Cable Mouse" (see page
24), and try placing the cable box and VCR away from each
other (do not place the cable box directly on top of the VCR).
If the cable box still does not respond, you can try other
codes.

If this is the case, contact your cable company.
