Channels
Channels tells the VCR where to find channels and stores them in the
VCR’s channel list.
Auto Channel Search
Use Auto Channel Search to place all available channels in memory.
If you ever change cable or antenna signals, you may need to run
the Auto Channel Search feature again.
Select one of the three options:
Cable TV searches for cable stations.
Antenna searches for local broadcast stations.
Detect Automatically selects the appropriate input automatically.
Note: With Detect Automatically, a strong cable or antenna signal in
your area may cause channels to be detected inaccurately. If this
should happen, you will need to select either Cable TV or Antenna
manually.
When scanning is complete, the VCR tunes to the lowest channel
available. After completing Auto Channel Search, press the remote
control’s CH + or - buttons to select active channels.
Add/Remove Channels
Your VCR may come with a list of channels preset at the factory.
Even though it may come with such a list, you may want to add or
delete certain channels.
Note: If you use a cable box to view all channels, this step is not
necessary.
To go to the channel you want to add or remove, use the remote
control’s CH + or – buttons or enter a specific channel number using
the number buttons.
To remove a channel from the channel list, press CLEAR. To add a
channel to the channel list, press INFO.
Note: To view active channels, use the remote control’s CH + and -
buttons. You can also access channels that aren’t available in the
active channel list by using the remote control’s number buttons to
enter the specific channel number.
Signal Type
This feature is useful if your cable signal goes out; it allows you to
switch to a regular antenna for alternate television reception.
From the Channels menu, choose between Signal Type: Cable or
Antenna by pressing the 3 button until the correct signal type is
shown.
Cable Box Setup
This setup applies only when all channels are received through a
cable box. Cable box setup is explained in detail on page 9.
