We’ve designed the menu system for the 8mm/VHS Dual- Deck VCR to do your thinking for you. When you press the menu key, the menu that appears will depend on what you’re currently seeing on your TV screen. If you are watch- ing the VHS deck, pressing the menu key will summon the VHS menu. If you are watching the 8mm deck, the Tuner (television or cable), or Line 1 or Line 2 input, pressing the menu key will summon the Timer Record Menu. Press the menu key over and over to cycle through the four main menus.

When you first set up your Dual-Deck VCR, pressing the menu key will summon the Set Clock Menu, and then the Setup Menu, because you will need to set the clock, the antenna input, and the channel memory before you can use many of the features of your Dual-Deck VCR.

The Owner’s Guides

To get the most out of your new Dual-Deck VCR, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with this User’s Guide and with the Reference Guide. Be sure to read all Safety

Instructions, on pages 6-9 of the Reference Guide.

The User’s Guide is designed to give you the basic proce- dures for using your Dual-Deck VCR. This Guide begins with how to hook up your new VCR, and then goes through step-by-step procedures for playing and copying tapes, making recordings, and editing your 8mm tapes onto VHS tapes.

As you go through the User’s Guide, you may occasionally be referred to the bigger book, the Reference Guide, for more detailed information.

The Reference Guide is designed to give more in-depth and advanced information about your Dual-Deck VCR. You may not need to use the Reference Guide much, or you may choose to use it extensively. The Reference Guide also includes a Help section. Turn to this section when you have

aquestion about operating your Dual-Deck VCR, before you call for service.
