Model 107 4-Head HQ VHS VCR (160-0544) Operation Faxback Doc. # 18793 VIEWING TV Using the TV's Tuner To view a broadcast using the TV's tuner, turn off the VCR, or press TV/VCR on the VCR or remote control until VCR disappears from 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 it 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. You can use the TV as you normally would. Using the VCR's Tuner 1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's OUTPUT CHANNEL switch (3 or 4). NOTE: If you are using a TV/monitor that is connected to the VCR's AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks, set it to the video mode (see "If Your TV Has Audio/Video (A/V) input Jacks"). 2. Press TV/VCR on the VCR or remote control until VCR appears on the VCR's display. Selecting Channels Your VCR can receive up to 68 VHF and UHF channels, and up to 123 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 display. Since cable companies sometimes designate 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 have to experiment to determine the proper cable channel designations for your cable system. For more information, contact your local cable company. To manually select a channel, press CH positive or negative. The tuner automatically advances to the next channel stored in the tuner's memory. NOTE: If you press CH positive when the tuner is at the highest programmed channel or CH negative when the tuner is at the lowest programmed channel, the VCR enters the audio/video mode and AV1 or AV2 appears on the VCR's display (see "Selecting the Signal to Record"). Continue to press CH positive or negative until the highest or lowest programmed 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, etc. To enter a three-digit number, press 100. Then enter the second and third digits in the channel number. VIEWING A VIDEO TAPE Loading a Video Tape 1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's OUTPUT CHANNEL switch (3 or 4). NOTE: If you are using a TV/monitor that is connected to the VCR's AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks, set it to the video mode. 2. Hold the cassette with the main label facing up and the spine facing out from the VCR. Then insert the cassette into the VCR's compartment and gently push the center of its spine until the VCR draws it in. The VCR automatically turns on, and the clock display changes to the tape counter. If the erase-protection tab has been removed from the cassette, playback automatically begins (see "Erase Protection"). CAUTION: Never insert anything except a VHS video cassette into the cassette into the cassette compartment. You might damage the VCR's internal mechanisms. Playing a Video Tape 1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's OUTPUT CHANNEL switch (3 or 4).

The VCR plays the tape. NOTE: During playback, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking, but you can manually adjust it if necessary (see "Adjusting the Tracking Manually"). 4. (Model 58 only) You can choose the type of audio you want the Model 58 to play back. To set the audio output option, press 2 on the remote control to select SET UP from the main menu display, then press 7 on the remote control to select AUDIO OUTPUT. AUDIO OUTPUT is highlighted, and the currently selected audio output option (L) - (R) (Stereo), (L), (R), or LINEAR) flashes. Then, repeatedly press CH positive to select an audio output option.
