Getting Started (Initial Setup)
24
2 for PM.
Continue pressing buttons to set the date. For example, if today is July 8, 1995, press
0, 7, 0, 8, 9, and 5 to get 07/08/95.
When you're done, press GUIDE twice to return to regular viewing.
Tips:
The item to be changed will blink on the screen as you go.
The clock uses the 12-hour system. You set it for AM or PM.
An illogical time (like 13 for the hour or 20 for the month) will not be accepted. A
question mark displays instead of the illogical number.
If you press the wrong digit, exit the screen by pressing GUIDE and recall the screen
to enter the correct setup.
The day of the week is set automatically.
More About Channel Selections
Your VCR is capable of receiving 68 broadcast TV channels (VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69)
and 125 cable channels (CATV 1-125).
When you press 7 on the Initial Setup screen, the tuner automatically cycles through all
available channels in your area and places them in memory. This takes 2-3 minutes.
You can watch the progress on the VCR's display--when the channel numbers stop
changing, programming is complete. Only when the power goes out for more than 1
hour you do need to preset the channels again.
In some areas channels cannot be switched when CATV1 is selected. Then, select
CATV2 in your Initial Setup screen.
For convenience, the TV channel numbers should match those programmed into the
VCR. If your TV has automatic channel programming, set it on the same mode--ANT,
CATV1 or CATV2--and let it reprogram to match the VCR.
Once channels are preset, you can use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to move
through the active channels. Or you can press the number buttons to move quickly
between channels that are far apart.
Removing Channels
You may not want to keep all the stations the auto-programmer selects, since you may
prefer to have only a few favorite channels in the tuner's memory. Or, you may want to
delete from memory a weak or unused channel that the tuner picked up.
Erased channels cannot be selected by the up and down CHANNEL buttons but can
still be selected by using the numbered buttons 0 to 9 and 100/ENT.
Adding Channels
Occasionally the auto-programming may skip an active channel because the antenna
was pointed in the wrong direction or the channel had a weak signal or was "off the air"
at the time of programming. Or you may change your mind about a channel you
removed from memory.
