Getting Started (Controls)
Quick Tour of the Controls
Study these pictures carefully to learn about the buttons and controls that you'll
need for everyday operation. Various controls are explained throughout this
manual as they are needed, but now is a good time to get familiar with their
locations.
Most of the time, you'll be directing the VCR from the remote control, but there
are some controls on the VCR that will come in handy too.
When you're familiar with these basic controls, proceed to Setup for First-Time
Operation (page 21). We'll show you how to program your local channels and
set the clock to make your VCR fully functional.
How the Remote Control Works
Pressing a button on the remote control transmits an invisible beam of light
(infrared) to a receiver at the right front of the VCR.
When using the remote, aim the front end toward the VCR and make sure
nothing - such as a coffee table or your dog - is blocking the path of the infrared
beam.
