OTHER FEATURES

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) — decodes stereo broadcasts for listening or re- cording. This VCR can also receive and record special audio programs (SAP) that accompany some MTS broadcasts.

Front and Rear Audio/Video Input Jacks — let you quickly connect an audio/video device, such as a camcorder, to the VCR without dis- connecting other devices.

Trilingual On-Screen Programming — pro- vides helpful instructions on the TV screen for setting the clock and timers. You can select English, French, or Spanish instructions.

Universal Remote Control — lets you control your VCR, as well as TVs, cable boxes, and di- rect-to-home satellite systems produced by other manufacturers.

Memory Sentinel — protects clock settings, tuner programming information, and timer memory settings in case of a power loss. The VCR holds the current time for 1 minute, and tuner programming information and timer memory settings are kept for up to 24 hours.

Automatic/Manual Clock Setting — lets you set the VCR to automatically update its clock using EDS (Extended Data Service) signals sent by some TV stations. You can also manu- ally set the clock.

Note: EDS is provided by some broadcasters and includes various types of information, in- cluding the current time. If no broadcasters in your area transmit EDS signals, you must man- ually set the clock.

Automatic DST (Daylight Saving Time) Ad-

justment — lets you set the VCR to automati- cally adjust the displayed time for Daylight Saving Time.

Alert Tone — the VCR alerts you whenever you enter invalid information or do an incom- plete operation. You can turn the alert tone on or off.

VCR Lock — lets you set the VCR to help pre- vent young children from operating it.

Note: Your VCR’s remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) for operation.

We recommend you record the VCR’s model and serial numbers here. This information is on the VCR’s back panel.
