ATTENTION:
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not receive the Auto clock setting data from a 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. 8) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 8).

●If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF connection, press TV/VCR on the Remote so that the VCR mode
indicator (

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.
●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.
