BASIC OPERATION

WATCHING TV

Using the TV’s Tuner

1.Turn off the VCR, or press TV/VCR so VCR disappears from the VCR’s display.

2.Set the TV to the TV mode.

The antenna or cable signals pass through the VCR unaffected, as if the antenna or cable were connected directly to the TV.

Using the VCR’s Tuner

1.Press TV/VCR until VCR appears on the VCR’s display.

2.If you connected the VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV/monitor’s audio/video input jacks, set the TV to the VIDEO mode.

If you connected the VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV/monitor’s single VHF/ UHF input F-connector or separate VHF F- connector and UHF input screw terminals:

a.Set the TV to the same channel (3 or 4) as OUTPUT CHANNEL.

b.Set the TV to the TV mode.

Selecting Channels

Your VCR can receive up to 68 VHF and UHF channels, and up to 125 cable channels. The VCR displays the channels as 1–125.

Notes:

•Channels 2–13 are the same for VHF and cable TV, and cable companies usually number them as they appear on the dis- play.

•Since cable companies sometimes desig- nate cable channels with letters or letter- number combinations, a channel number you see on the VCR’s display might differ from the channel number displayed on your cable box. You might need to experi- ment to determine the proper cable chan- nel designations for your cable system. For more information, contact your local cable company.

To change the channel, press CH or CH . The tuner changes to the next higher or lower channel stored in its memory.

Note: If you press CH when the tuner is at the highest programmed channel or CH when the tuner is at the lowest programmed channel, the VCR enters the audio/video mode and AV appears on the VCR’s display. Contin- ue to press CH or CH until the highest or lowest programmed channel appears.

To directly select a channel, press the number buttons on the remote control for the desired channel.

Notes:

•Always precede single-digit numbers with a 0 — for example, 01, 02, etc.

•To enter a three-digit number, first press 100 then enter the second and third digits of the channel number.
