2)Select the Signal that’s connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack

Completing this information lets the DVD/VCR know what program signals are being sent to it. Choose the type of signal that is connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack. Press the right arrow button to access the choices:

Note: If you’ve connected a cable box or satellite receiver to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack, turn on the cable box or satellite receiver before completing this step.

Cable-Antenna(cable service)

Antenna Only (no cable service, just off-air antenna)

Note: If the DVD/VCR doesn’t start searching for channels after you’ve selected the type of signal connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack, press the down arrow button to highlight Done and press OK.

3) Channel Search

The DVD/VCR automatically scans the signal coming through the cable connected to the CABLE/ ANTENNA INPUT jack and prepares the channel list. The channel list determines what channels appear when you press the CH+ and CH- buttons.

A progress indicator appears on the TV screen. When the Channel Search reaches 100%, press OK (the Channel List appears). If the Channel List doesn’t appear, check the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack to make sure the cable is connected properly.

Note: If you are using only a cable box or satellite receiver, there will be few, if any, channels in the channel list.

4) Channel List

The Channel List contains the channels you tune to when you press the CH+ and CH- (channel up and channel down) buttons on the remote control. From the Channel List screen, you can delete channels you rarely watch. You’ll still be able to tune to the “deleted” channels directly by using the number buttons on the remote control, but the DVD/VCR won’t tune to a channel you delete when you press the CH+/CH- buttons on the remote control.

Press the down arrow button to scroll through the channels. A checkmark in the box next to the channel means it has been stored in the channel list. Highlight the channel and press OK to check or uncheck the box. You can also label channels by pressing the INFO button.

To skip editing the channel list, press the right arrow button.

5) Time Zone

Use the down arrow button to highlight your time zone, and press OK (the Daylight Savings Time screen appears).

6) Daylight Savings Time

If you live an area that recognizes Daylight Savings Time, press OK (the DVD/VCR’s internal clock will automatically advance the time by 1 hour in the spring and set the clock back by 1 hour in the fall).

If you live in an area that doesn’t use Daylight Savings Time, press the right arrow button to highlight No, and press OK.
