INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES

The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included) for
operation.  We recommend alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555).

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the cover's latch in
    the direction of the arrow and lifting it out.

2.  Insert two fresh batteries in the compartment, as indicated by the
    polarity symbols (+ or -) marked in the compartment.

3.  Replace the cover.

NOTE:  If the remote control does not work or operates erratically,
       replace both batteries.

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

           Always remove old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals
           that can damage electronic circuits.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Some of the remote control's buttons are duplicated on the VCR's front
panel.  You can use these buttons to perform identical procedures either
at the VCR or by remote control.

To use the remote control, point it at the VCR and press the desired
button(s).

SETTING THE CLOCK

Use the remote control to set the clock.  Set the clock accurately for
proper automatic-timer and quick-set recording.  We suggest you refer to a
TV or radio station as your source.

NOTE:  For "Setting the Clock" and "Automatic Timer Recording", the
       instructions refer to the TV's on-screen display indicators. Some
       of the indicators on the VCR's display vary slightly.

In the follow example the clock is set to 9:30 PM July 4, 1993.

1.  Press POWER to turn on the VCR.

2.  Turn on your TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's CH.3/4
    switch on the back of the VCR.

NOTE:  If your TV has A/V inputs, be sure to set it to the video mode.

3.  Press MENU on the remote control.  The menu appears on the TV screen.
