NOTES:

The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF connection. The VCR’s CH3-CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.

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 ( pg. 26).

For full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the

Index (

pg. 60).

4 Connect VCR to power source Connect the AC power plug to an AC outlet.

The clock and tuner channels will automatically be set when the antenna is connected and when the AC power cord is first connected to an AC power outlet ( pg. 8).

(If “Auto” or “CH” is displayed on the front display panel before the VCR is turned on, the clock and tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait until the clock time is displayed on the front display panel before turning on the VCR.)
