WATCHING TV
Using the TV’s Tuner
To watch a broadcast using the TV’s tuner, turn
off the VCR, or press
TV/VCR
until VCR does
not appear on the VCR’s display.
Note:
If you are using a TV/monitor connected
to the VCR’s
AUDIO/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
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
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT
jacks, set the TV/monitor to the video
mode.
2. Press
TV/VCR
until
VCR
appears on the
VCR’s display.
Selecting Channels
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 of the cable channels are designated
for audio only.
To manually select a channel, press
CH
s/t.
The tuner automatically advances 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 programmed channel, the
VCR enters the audio/video mode and
LINE
1
or
LINE
2
appears on the TV (see “Selecting
the Signal to Record” on Page 28). Continue
to press
CH
s/t until the highest or lowest pro-
grammed channel appears.
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.
