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).
1. Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the CHANNEL PRESET screen.
2. Press 1 to select the type of receiving setup you have.
Each time 1 is pressed, the option for "1 CHANNEL" switches from <CATV1> to <ANT>,
<CATV2> and back to <CATV1>.
<CATV1>: Ordinary cable
<ANT>: Internal or external antenna.
<CATV2>: Alternate cable (if <CATV1> doesn't give you the channels you expect).
3. Press 2 to select "2 AUTO CHANNEL SET". The tuner automatically cycles through all
available channels in your area and place them in memory. This takes 2-3 minutes. After the
channels are stored in memory, the channel with the lowest number appears in the VCR's
display. Press GUIDE to return to regular viewing.
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 - CATV1, ANT, 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.
To Add or Erase Channels
Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up CHANNEL PRESET screen. Item 3 lets you add or
delete channels. Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to change, then press
STOP to delete it or press PLAY to add it.
