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" on Page 11).

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 CHANNEL UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW.  The
tuner automatically advances to the next channel stored in the tuner's
memory.

NOTE:  If you press CHANNEL UP ARROW when the tuner is at the highest
       programmed channel or CHANNEL DOWN ARROW when the tuner is at the
       lowest programmed channel, the VCR enters the audio/video mode and
       AV appears on the VCR's display (see "Selecting the Signal to
       Record").  Continue to press CHANNEL UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW 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.

ADDING OR ERASING CHANNELS

1.  Using the number keys enter the Channel you want to erase or add.
2.  From the Main Menu, press 2 for SETUP.
3.  Press 3 for ADD/ERASE.
4.  Press CH up.  The number you entered is displayed.
5.  Press CH up to add.  Press CH down to erase.
6.  Press Menu to exit this screen.

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).

    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.  Load a video tape.

3.  If playback, does not automatically begin, press PLAY.  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.  To stop playback before the end of the tape, press STOP/EJECT on the
    VCR or STOP on the remote control.

5.   To eject the tape, press STOP/EJECT again on the VCR.

NOTES:  If the tape reaches the end before you press STOP/EJECT, the VCR
        automatically stops the tape, completely rewinds it, then turns
        itself off.  If the tape's erase-protection tab has been removed,
        the VCR ejects the tape after it fully rewinds.

        When the VCR is off, you can press STOP/EJECT on the VCR to eject
        a tape.  The VCR turns itself on, ejects the tape, then turns
        itself off.
