●Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will ensure that you can record one show while watching another.
DPerform Plug&Play setup
Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.
ATTENTION:
●If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately ( pg. 7 – 8).
●Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not receive the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be
necessary to perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set” ( pg. 7) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 8).
During Initial Auto Clock Set “Aut” blinks.
