INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES

The remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied).  For the best
results, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23
552.

Follow these steps to install/replace the batteries:

1.  Press the battery compartment cover's latch and lift out the cover.

2.  Remove the old batteries if necessary, then install fresh batteries as
    indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the
    compartment.

    CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.

               Always dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

               Never incinerate batteries.

3.  Replace the cover.

NOTE:  If the remote control does not operate properly, replace both
       batteries.

SETTING THE CHANNEL 3/4 SWITCH

The CHANNEL 3/4 switch on the back of the VCR works together with the
INPUT and TV/VCR buttons to control the input and output signals of your
VCR.

Set CHANNEL 3/4 to whichever is not an active channel in your area and
tune your TV/monitor to the same channel.

When VCR appears on the VCR's display, the VCR sends the video signal to
the TV/monitor on whichever channel you select using the VCR's CHANNEL 3/4
switch.  These signals are also sent to the VCR's VIDEO/AUDIO out jacks.

    video mode.
