IMPORTANT

If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting station’s channel number has been changed, the wrong VCR CH number will be displayed on the Program screen in step 5. When this happens, set the correct guide channel number for that station. (☞ pg. 26, “VCR Plus+ Setup”)

NOTES:

●Even if a power failure occurs, the VCR keeps your timer programs. However, the clock time, channel settings, and other menu settings are lost if it lasts for more than 3 minutes. As a result, when the power is supplied again to this VCR after the power failure, the following will take place.

1.This VCR starts the Plug & Play setting automatically to restore the clock time and channel setting.

2.If the clock time and channel setting are restored correctly, each timer program you have made will start unless its end time already passes.

●To timer-record cable channels received through a cable box, be sure to keep the cable box turned on with the correct channel selected.
