If a number doesn’t appear next to an on-screen menu, use the arrow buttons to highlight an item on the screen, and
press OK to select the highlighted item.
Complete the on-screen setup guide
To help you use the VCR as quickly as possible, an on-screen setup
guide walks you through several important menu screens the first time
you turn on your VCR. The first menu item asks you to select the
language for the on-screen menus. The other setup menu items are
listed in this section.
