Auto Channel Searching

Note: Use Auto Channel Search to place all available channels in memory.

If you ever change cable or antenna signals, you may need to run the Auto Channel Search feature again.

1.Press the MENU button to display the VCR MAIN MENU.

2.Press 3 to select Channels.

3.Press 1 to select Auto Channel Search.

4.Select one of the three options: Cable TV searches for cable stations. Antenna searches for local broadcast stations.

Detect Automatically decides which input to use for you.

Notes: With Detect Automatically, a strong cable or antenna signal in your area may cause channels to be detected inaccurately. If this should happen, manually select the input signal for the system you have.

The VCR begins scanning for channels available in the area (taking about one-to-two minutes). When scanning is complete, the VCR tunes to the lowest channel available. After completing Auto Channel Search, pressing the remote control’s CHAN + or - buttons should only select active channels.
