OTHER FEATURES

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) (Mod- el 63 only) — decodes stereo broadcasts for listening or recording. This VCR can also re- ceive and record special audio programs (SAP) that accompany some MTS broadcasts.

Front and Rear Audio/Video Input Jacks — let you quickly connect an audio/video device, such as a camcorder, to the VCR without dis- connecting other devices.

Trilingual On-Screen Programming — pro- vides helpful instructions on the TV screen for setting the clock and timers. You can select English, French, or Spanish instructions.

Universal Remote Control — lets you control your VCR, as well as TVs and cable boxes pro- duced by other manufacturers.

Memory Sentinel — protects clock settings, tuner programming information, and timer memory settings in case of a power loss. The clock continues to run for 30 minutes, and tun- er programming information and timer memory settings are kept for up to 24 hours.

Automatic/Manual Clock Setting — lets you set the VCR to automatically update its clock using EDS (Extended Data Service) signals sent by some TV stations. You can also manu- ally set the clock.

Note: EDS is provided by some broadcasters and includes various types of information, in- cluding the current time. If no broadcasters in your area transmit EDS signals, you must man- ually set the clock.

Automatic DST (Daylight Saving Time) Ad-

justment — lets you set the VCR to automati- cally adjust the displayed time for Daylight Saving Time.

We recommend you record the VCR’s model and serial numbers here. This information is on the VCR’s back panel.
