All of the VCR’s menus are accessed through the Main Menu. Press the remote control’s MENU button to start.

Complete the QuickSet Guide

The menu system in your VCR allows you to customize your preferences as well as use all the VCR’s features. To help you use the VCR as quickly as possible, there is an initial QuickSet Guide that walks you through several important setup steps at one time.

The first time you turn on the VCR, you will be able to set up available channels, time and date information, and more. The first menu you will see asks which language you prefer to have the on-screen menus appear in.

Note: With numbered menu choices, press the corresponding number button on the remote control to automatically select it. In the case of the language menu, press 1 for English, 2 for Español (Spanish), or 3 for Français (French).

The remaining menus throughout the setup will appear in the language chosen. Just follow the step-by-step procedures until the QuickSet Guide is complete.

Accessing Menus

The series of preferences that are set in the QuickSet Guide can also be handled individually using the VCR’s on-screen menu system. There are other settings not covered in the initial setup that are also handled using the on- screen menus.

For example, if you decide to run the QuickSet Guide again, you can access the Setup menu by pressing the remote control’s MENU button. Once the Main Menu is displayed, press the 5 button to choose Setup. From there, you can start the QuickSet Guide from the beginning.

All on-screen menus are accessed the same way, starting in the Main Menu which is displayed by pressing the remote control’s MENU button.

Note: See chapter two, Using On-Screen Menus, for details about changing the VCR’s individual settings.
