Getting Started (Initial Setup)
28
The screen shows the default settings on your VCR. The default settings are the ones that are
preset at the factory.
Look at each item to see if it matches your own setup:
To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item. This will cycle
you through several options.
When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE again to back out of the VCR SETUP
screen.
Here is what the options mean:
1 AUTO BLUE
Press 1 to control the auto blue function which makes the screen blue and mutes sound when
you select a channel without a broadcast signal on the VCR or a channel on which the
broadcasting has finished. Options are <ON> and <OFF>.
If the signal is too strong, this function may not operate even if you specify <ON>. During
playback this function does not operate.
4 HIFI/MIX/LINEAR
Press 4 to control how the audio signal is processed by the VCR. Options are <HIFI>, <MIX>
and <LINEAR>.
5 STEREO/MONO
Press 5 to control how the audio signal is recorded and sent to the TV. Options are
<STEREO> and <MONO>.
6 SAP
Press 6 when you are ready to ready to record a second audio program. Options are <OFF>
and <ON>.
Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback
Choose between hi-fi and linear modes, depending on your needs.
HIFI is the preferred setting because it works for all tapes whether they were recorded in hi-fi
or linear modes. If the audio sounds distorted or unusual or there is no audio, try the LINEAR
option.
When you set the option to HIFI, hi-fi tapes will play in high fidelity, and non-hi-fi tapes will play
in linear mode.
Stereo vs. Mono Sound
When you select the STEREO option, your VCR records in stereo any station that broadcasts
stereo sound. When a TV channel broadcasts in stereo, you'll see a stereo indicator on the TV
