Model 104 (160-0541) Operation Faxback Doc. # 3942 SELECTING THE TV/VCR INPUTS AND OUTPUTS All VCR inputs and outputs are controlled by the INPUT button and the TV/VCR button. Tuner/Audio-Video Input Mode The VCR selects the video signal from one of two input sources and uses that signal to record and send to the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks. Press INPUT on the remote control to select the video signal you want. If you select TUNER, the VCR receives the video and audio input signals from the antenna connected to the VCR's IN FROM ANT terminal. The channel number appears on the VCR's display and the TV screen. If you select VIDEO, the VCR receives the video and audio input signals from a playback VCR, recording VCR, or video processor connected to the VCR's VIDEO/AUDIO IN jacks. L appears on the VCR's display and VIDEO appears on the TV screen. NOTES: INPUT has no effect during tape playback. The input selected affects the VHF/UHF OUT signals only when VCR appears on the display. TV/VCR Output Mode The TV/VCR button selects the video source signals to be displayed on the TV. TV selects the TV's tuner while VCR selects the VCR's output. The VCR's output can be the video cassette playback signal or the VCR's tuner signals. NOTE: When the VCR is turned on, it sends its signals to the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT terminal. The TV/VCR setting does not affect the signals. WATCHING TV You can watch TV using the TV's tuner to the VCR's tuner. Using the TV's Tuner When the VCR is turned off, or when you press TV/VCR so VCR disappears from the display, antenna or cable signals connected to the IN FROM ANT terminals pass through to the VCR's OUT TO TV terminals unaffected. This lets you use the TV's tuner to select channels as if the signals were directly connected to the TV. Follow these steps to watch TV using the TV's tuner. 1. Turn off the VCR, or press TV/VCR on the remote control so VCR disappears from the display. 2. Turn on your TV. 3. Select the desired channel suing the TV's tuner. Using the VCR's Tuner When you turn on the VCR, it activates the 181-channel Phased-Lock Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer's tuner and automatically sets TV/VCR to VCR. The tuner lets you select the following: What the VCR records Which signal from the VCR is displayed on the TV screen (VCR tuner output or VCR tape-playback output). When VCR appears on the display, the signal from the VCR is sent to the ANT OUT terminals on Channel 3 or 4 so it can be displayed on the TV screen (even when the VCR is neither playing nor recording a tape). Turn on the system, then select the desired channel using the VCR's tuner. Selecting Channels There are two methods of selecting channels -- sequential and direct. Sequential - to sequentially select a channel, press CHANNEL /\ or \/. The tuner automatically advances to the next programmed channel in the direction of the button's arrow. NOTE: If you press CHANNEL /\ when the tuner is at the highest programmed channel, the tuner returns to the lowest programmed channel. If you press CHANNEL \/ when the tuner is at the lowest programmed channel, the tuner returns to the highest programmed channel. Direct - to directly select a channel, press the remote control's number buttons for the desired channel. You must precede one-digit channel numbers with 0 (01, 02, 03 and so on). For three-digit channel numbers, press 100, then enter the second and third digits in the channel number. NOTES: With direct channel selection, you can choose any channel in the tuner's range, even if the channel is not stored in the tuner's memory, there is no broadcast present, or the channel is scrambled. (The tuner does not unscramble channels.) Three-digit channel numbers are not available in the regular TV band and can only be accessed while you are in the CATV mode. (ALL-02/06/95)
