INITIAL SET UP FOR USE

SETTING THE CH3/CH4

SWITCH

If your TV does not have A/V terminals:

When the VCR is in the Playback mode or when the

VCR is in the VCR position, your TV will receive sig-

nals from the VCR on either channel 3 or 4.

To use the VCR with your TV, set the selector switch to

CH3 or CH4 (which is located

in the back of your VCR),

whichever is not used for nor-

mal broadcasts in your area.

Then set your TV to the same

channel.

AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SET UP

You can automatically program the tuner to scan only

the channels you receive in your area.

●

Channel memory programming is

NOT needed

when you connected the VCR to a cable box or

satellite box

as in "Basic connections" on page 6. In

this case, select the VCR and TV to channel 3 or 4

the same channel as the CH3 or CH4 switch on the

back of the VCR. Then, the channel you want to re-

cord or view may be selected at the cable box or sat-

ellite box.

●

Follow the steps below once. Repeat it only if there

is a power failure or if the VCR is unplugged for more

than 30 seconds. (In these cases, the programmed

channels are erased.)

●

You must follow the steps below before attempting

to play or record a video tape. If you want to play or

record a video tape BEFORE programming the tuner,

you can cancel it by pressing the RESET/EXIT but-

ton. To program the tuner again, see "CHANNEL

SET UP AGAIN" on the next page.

You need to connect the antenna or cable to the VCR

first. Then, connect the VCR power plug into a stand-

ard AC outlet.

Turn on the TV and set the TV to channel 3 or 4.

Now set the CH3/CH4 switch on the back of the VCR

to match the channel selected on the TV.

Turn on the VCR

by pressing the POWER button.

Both the POWER indicator and the VCR/TV indica-

tor on the VCR come on.

Select the On Screen Lan-

guage ("ENGLISH" or

"FRANCAIS")

by pressing

the PLAY or STOP button.

Then, press the F.FWD but-

ton.

Begin channel preset

by pressing the F.FWD button

once. The tuner scans and

memorizes all active channels

in your area.

●

The VCR distinguishes be-

tween standard TV channels

and cable channels.

After scanning,

the tuner stops on the lowest

memorized channel. The TV screen returns to TV

mode.

●

If "AUTO SET UP" appears on the TV screen again,

check the cable connections. Press the F.FWD button

once again and the VCR will begin preset again.

TO SELECT A DESIRED CHANNEL

You can select the desired channel by using the CHAN-

NEL Up or Down button or directly pressing the number

buttons on the remote control.

Note for using the number buttons:

●

When selecting cable channels which are higher than

99, press the +100 button first, then press the last two

digits.

●

You must precede single-digit channel numbers with

a zero (For example: 02, 03, 04 and so on).

CLOCK SET UP

Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer re-

cording. We suggest that you use a TV or radio station

as your time source.

Select main menu

by pressing the MENU button.

(If the clock is not set, the CLOCK SET menu ap-

pears first. In this case, follow step [3].)

Select "CLOCK SET"

by pressing the PLAY or

STOP button. Then, press the F.FWD button.

Set the clock.

●

To go back one step, press the REW button.

Start the clock

by pressing the RESET/EXIT or
