You can automatically program the tuner to scan only the channels you receive in your area.

•Channel memory programming is NOT needed when you connected the VCR to a cable box or satellite box as in "Connect VCR to TV". In this case, select the VCR and TV to channel 3 or 4 the same channel as the CH3 or CH4 switch on the back of the VCR. Then, the channel you want to record or view may be selected at the cable box or satellite box.

•Follow the steps below once. Repeat it only if there is a power failure or if the VCR is unplugged for more than 30 seconds. (In these cases, the programmed channels are erased.)

•You must follow the steps below before attempting to play or record a video tape. If you want to play or record a video tape BEFORE programming the tuner, you can cancel it by pressing [EXIT/RESET].

1 You need to connect the antenna or cable to the VCR first. Then, connect the VCR power plug into a standard AC outlet.

•Whenever the AC plug is connected, the VCR search the local PBS(Public Broadcasting Station) channel for auto clock setting. If the VCR find the local PBS channel, current time appears on the display.

and memorizes all active channels in your area.	AUTO SET UP

•The VCR distinguishes between standard TV channels and cable channels.

6 After scanning,

the tuner stops on the lowest memorized channel. The TV screen returns to TV mode.

•If "AUTO SET UP" appears on the TV screen again, check the cable connections. Press [F.FWD] once again and the VCR will begin preset again.

•If the VCR cannot find the local PBS channel at step 1, after scanning channels, “AUTO CLOCK” flashes on the TV screen. And the VCR search the local PBS channel for auto clock setting again. When the clock is not set yet, press the POWER button to turn on the VCR, then press the number

buttons or [CH () ] to select your local PBS channel.The current time may appear on the display. If current time does not appear, follow “MANUAL CLOCK SETTING”.

•Note: The VCR will search through all the available channels from the lowest channel. It must scan each channel for 10 seconds to determine if that channel is transmitting the EDS (Extended Data Service) signal. If the highest channel has EDS signal, it takes many times. To cancel this search, press the RESET/EXIT button.
