FIRST THINGS FIRST

•If you connect your VCR using the ANT. IN and RF OUT connectors with RF coaxial cable, set the 3 CH. 4 switch to channel 3 or channel 4 — the channel you want to use on your TV.

•If you connect your VCR using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks with audio/video cables, select the TV’s video input with the remote control’s INPUT button to see the signal. If you have trouble understanding the Video Input Channel, look to page 68 for a more detailed explanation.

STEP 6: TURN ON THE VCR

Press POWER on the VCR’s front panel or the VCR button on the remote control to turn on the VCR. The first time you turn the VCR on, a menu screen appears. This is the start of an initial set up which helps you set different options for your VCR.

STEP 7: INITIAL SETUP

The first on-screen menu during the initial set up asks which language you prefer to use for your VCR. Use the remote control’s number buttons to select options.

Select a language.

Seleccione un idioma.

Choisissez une langue.

1English

2Espanol˜

3Francais

1.Press 1 for English, 2 for Español (Spanish), or 3 for Français (French).

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

If the menu does not appear:

•Make sure the TV is tuned to the same channel as the 3 CH. 4 switch or the TV’s Video Input Channel (see page 68 for more information).

•Make sure the VCR indicator is on in the VCR display if you connected your VCR using the ANT. IN and RF OUT jacks.

•Check your connections.

If you chose to set up your VCR options individually, then go to the next section.

3 CH. 4 Switch

When using the ANT. IN and RF OUT jacks to connect your VCR, tune your TV to channel 3 or 4.

The 3 CH. 4 switch on the back of the VCR determines which TV channel is used to see the VCR’s output.

When using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks to connect your VCR, tune your TV to the TV’s Video Input Channel with the TV and INPUT buttons on your remote control. For more information about selecting your video input channel, see page 68.
