OPERATION
WATCHING TV
Using the TV’s Tuner
To watch a broadcast using the TV’s tuner, turn
off the VCR, or repeatedly press
TV/VCR
until
VCR disappears.
Note:
If you are using a TV/monitor connected
to the VCR’s
R-AUDIO-L/VIDEO OUT
jacks, be
sure to set the TV/monitor to the TV mode.
The antenna or cable signals pass through the
VCR unaffected, as if the antenna or cable
were connected directly to the TV. Use the TV
as you normally would.
Using the VCR’s Tuner
Your VCR can receive up to 68 VHF and UHF
channels, and up to 125 cable channels. The
VCR displays the channels as 1–125.
Notes:
• Channels 2–13 are the same for VHF and
cable TV, and cable companies usually
number them as they appear on the dis-
play.
• Since cable companies sometimes desig-
nate cable channels with letters or letter-
number combinations, a channel number
you see on the VCR’s display might differ
from the channel number displayed on
your cable box. You might need to experi-
ment to determine the proper cable chan-
nel designations for your cable system. For
more information, contact your local cable
company.
• Two cable channels are designated for
audio only.
1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same chan-
nel as the VCR’s
3 CH. 4
switch.
Note:
If you are using a TV/monitor con-
nected to the VCR’s
R-AUDIO-L/VIDEO OUT
jacks, set the TV/monitor to the video
mode.
2. Repeatedly press
TV/VCR
until VCR
appears.
3. To manually select a channel, you can
press
CH
s or t to have the tuner automati-
cally advance to the next channel stored in
the tuner’s memory.
Note:
If you press
CH
s when the tuner is
at the highest programmed channel or
CH
t
when the tuner is at the lowest pro-
grammed channel, the VCR enters the
audio/video mode and
LINE1
or
LINE2
appears on the TV (see “Selecting the Sig-
nal to Record” on Page 33). Continue to
press
CH
s or t until the highest or lowest
programmed channel appears.
Or, to directly select a channel, press the
number buttons on the remote control for
the desired channel.
Notes:
• Precede a single-digit number with a 0
— for example, 01, 02, and so on.
• To enter a three-digit number, press
100
,
then enter the second and third digits in
the channel number.
• (Model 63 only) If you want to receive
MTS stereo or SAP broadcasts, see
“Receiving/Recording Stereo/SAP Broad-
casts (Model 63 Only)” on Page 33.
