CHECK CONTENTS

listed in “SPECIFICATIONS” ( pg. 43).

SITUATE VCR

The connection method you use depends on the type of

TV you have.

a– Disconnect the TV antenna from the TV.

b– Connect the TV antenna cable to the ANT. IN jack

on the rear of the VCR.

c– Connect the supplied RF cable between the RF

OUT jack on the rear of the VCR and the TV’s

antenna terminal. Set TV on CH3 or CH4

corresponding to the CH3 – CH4 switch setting on

the back of the VCR.

AV Connection

a– Connect the antenna, VCR and TV as shown in

the illustration.

b– Connect an Audio/Video Cable between the AUDIO

and the AV IN jacks on the TV. Set your TV in video

input mode or A/V input mode. Refer to the TV

Instruction Manual.

CONNECT VCR TO

POWER SOURCE

The clock and tuner channels will automatically be

set when the antenna is connected and when the AC

is first connected to the VCR ( pg. 8).

(If "Auto" or "CH" is displayed on the front display

panel before the VCR is powered on, the clock and

tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait for

the time to be displayed on the front display panel

before powering on the VCR.)

FINAL PREPARATION FOR

USE

You can now perform simple playback ( pg. 16) or simple recording ( pg. 17).

NOTES:

The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3- CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.

The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position.

Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3– CH4 switch setting.

If RF connection to TV is used, when switching from VCR to TV mode and from TV to VCR it may be necessary to issue a CH UP and then CH DOWN on TV to obtain a good quality picture.

Even if you are using AV 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 (REAR VIEW pg. 41).
