You can select the signal to record — from the source connected to the IN FROM ANT. jack or an audio/video source — in either of these ways.

•Repeatedly press INPUT until the desired input source appears — LINE1 (or LINE2) for an audio/video source, or a channel number for broadcast signals.

•Repeatedly press CH s or t to set the VCR to the desired broadcast channel, or to one channel higher than the highest channel number (or one channel lower than the lowest channel number) for an audio/video source.

Note: Select LINE1 for recording signals from the back R-AUDIO-L IN 1/VIDEO IN 1 jacks, or LINE2 for recording signals from the front AV2 jacks.

RECEIVING/RECORDING STEREO/SAP BROADCASTS (MODEL 63 ONLY)

The Model 63 has three channels for audio re- cording — two (left and right) stereo channels on the Hi-Fi track, and one monaural channel on the standard track.

Press DISP/ENT to display the audio programs available on the broadcast you are currently tuned to. STEREO, SAP, and MONO appear on the TV screen, and STEREO and/or SAP might appear on the VCR’s display. On the TV screen, parenthesis appear around each type of audio signal that is not available. For exam- ple, if a station broadcasts mono (monaural) and SAP signals, (STEREO), SAP, and MONO appear on the TV screen and SAP appears on the VCR’s display.

The arrow to the right of the audio mode display indicates the current audio mode. To select the

audio mode when the broadcast has a stereo or SAP signal, repeatedly press SAP/Hi-Fiuntil the arrow mark points to the desired mode.
