Your Optimus Model 57 Four-Head VHS Stereo Hi-Fi VCR offers some of the
most advanced features available in home video cassette recorders.  The
Hi-Fi stereo feature delivers CD-quality sound for the audio/video or
audio-only recordings.  Your VCR has PLL (Phase-locked loop) tuning to
ensure extremely accurate tuning of up to 68 VHF and UHF channels and up
to 125 cable channels.  The Model 57's full-function remote control and
on-screen programming make the VCR easy to use.

Your VCR offers all these features:

Trilingual On-Screen Programming - provides helpful instructions on the TV
screen for setting the clock, program timers, and quick timer recording.
You can select English, French, or Spanish instructions.

Memory Sentinel - protects clock settings, tuner programming information,
and timer memory settings by providing up to 1 hour of backup power in case
a power failure occurs or the power cord is unplugged.

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) - decodes stereo broadcasts for
recording or listening.  Your VCR can also receive and record a special
