FIRST THINGS FIRST

STEP 4: PLUG IN THE VCR

Match the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

STEP 5: TUNE THE TV

Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel. The VCR viewing channel is channel 3 or 4 or the TV’s video input.

•If you connect your VCR using the ANTENNA 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 to see the signal. See the TV Owner’s Manual.

STEP 6: TURN ON THE VCR

The first time you connect your VCR and turn it on, a menu screen appears. This is the beginning of the QuickSet Guide which helps you to set up specific features of the VCR. If you choose not to use this Guide, you can set up each feature individually.

Go to the next step to understand how to move through and change items in the menu system.

STEP 7: ACCESS THE MENUS

The MENU and number buttons let you access, select and change menu items. For example, to change the Auto Play setting, you would do the following:

VCR Viewing Channel

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

When using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks to connect your VCR, tune your TV to the TV’s video input.
