Plug & Play

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.

The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting data that is transmitted by 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 manually. (☞ pg.11 – 15)

IMPORTANT

●Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while Plug & Play is in progress.

●If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to perform the Clock (☞ pg. 11) and Tuner (☞ pg. 14) procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 15.

PLUG & PLAY SETUP

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (☞ pg. 6). Then connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.

NOTES:

●Auto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set function scans all the channels received by your VCR to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock. "Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto clock set.

●Auto channel set is performed next. The auto channel set function scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. It then automatically assigns each receivable channels to the CH5°(+/–) buttons. It skips non-receivable channels. During auto channel set the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

●When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the correct time is displayed.

●If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on next page.
