FIRST THINGS FIRST

WELCOME TO YOUR

NEW VCR...

To help you get started using your VCR with as little reading as possible, we’ve put all the basic information needed in the first three sections. To help you along, there’s even an initial setup feature the first time you turn on your VCR which walks you through several setup steps at once.

GETTING STARTED

Before this first step, though, learning about the time and date, your remote control’s features, working with channels, and basic video tape operations are essential to get all you can out of the VCR. Once you are comfortable with these features, feel free to refer to other sections because they cover the more detailed information.

WHAT REMAINS?

The final sections of this manual contain playback and recording information, a detailed connections section, and a reference section including troubleshooting tips, warranty information, and an index.
