Model 800 (160-0654) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 3601 INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERY The remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) for operation. We recommend alkaline batteries such as Radio Shack's Cat. No. 23-552. Install the batteries as shown below: 1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the cover in the direction of the arrow. 2. Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment, observing the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked in the compartment. 3. Replace the compartment cover. NOTE: If the remote control does not work or operates erratically, replace both batteries. CAUTION: 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 Most 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. The following special-function buttons appear only on the remote control. Number Buttons - allow direct selection of any channel within the tuner's range. You can also use these buttons to set the clock or enter timer information. OUTPUT SELECT Button - press to select the sound you hear during recording and playback. To use the remote control, point it at the VCR and press the desired button(s). SETTING THE CLOCK Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer recording. We suggest that you use a TV or radio station as your source. In the following example, the clock is set to 5:40 pm, Thursday, May 21st, 1992. 1. Press POWER to turn on the VCR. 2. Turn on your TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's 3CH/4CH switch located on the back of the VCR. Then press TV/VCR on the Model 800 so that VCR appears on the display. If you use a TV monitor, be sure to set it to the video mode. 3. Press MENU.

Memory Sentinel Your VCR has a special memory sentinel feature that protects clock settings, tuner programming information, and timer memory settings by providing up to 1 hour backup power in case a power failure occurs or the power cord accidentally becomes unplugged. After about 1 hour of no power, the VCR loses all memory settings. (ALL-12/13/94)
