Power Failure

•VCR timer recordings, clock setting, language selection, and channel setup may be lost if the power fails. See pages 26-30 to set up the channels, clock, and language again. See pages 36-38 to reprogram your timer recordings.

The VCR will not record a TV program.

•Put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. Press VCR or OUTPUT so the green VCR light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.

•Check the connections between the DVD/VCR, TV, antenna/Cable TV signal, and Cable Box/Satellite Receiver (if applicable). Details are on pages 8-15. For VCR features, you must connect the DVD/VCR to a TV with the RF coaxial cable or the yellow video cable as described on pages 8-11.

•Make sure the video cassette has a record tab. Details are on page 32.

The VCR will not perform a timer recording.

•Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly. Details are on pages 36-38.

•Make sure a tape is in the VCR and the tape has a record tab. Details are on page 32. If, after program- ming a timer recording, you press TIMER SET without putting a tape in the DVD/VCR, the TIMER REC light will blink.

•If the record tab on a tape is missing, the DVD/VCR will eject the tape. The TIMER REC light will blink.

•Press TIMER SET to put the DVD/VCR in standby mode for the timer recording. The TIMER REC light should appear on the front of the DVD/VCR.

•Make sure the VCR clock is set. Details are on pages 28-29.

•The VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if the power fails.

•If you have a Cable Box/Satellite Receiver, set timer recordings differently. Details are on page nine.

•Finish programming a timer recording at least five minutes before it is set to begin.

•12 p.m. is noon; 12 a.m. is midnight.

There is no picture or the picture is noisy or has streaks during video cassette playback.

•Put the DVD/VCR in VCR mode. Press VCR or OUTPUT so the green VCR light appears on the front of the DVD/VCR.

•If you used the supplied RF coaxial cable to connect the DVD/VCR to the TV, make sure the TV is on the same channel as the DVD/VCR’s output channel (03 or 04). The DVD/VCR’s output channel is chan- nel 3 when you receive it. To change it to channel 4, see page eight. Make sure channel 03 or 04 is prop- erly adjusted at the TV.

Or, if you connected the DVD/VCR to the TV using audio and video cables, select the correct Video In channel at the TV. Details are on pages 8-13.

•Adjust the tracking. Details are on page 44.

•TVs placed too close to the DVD/VCR can cause interference during tape playback. Move the DVD/VCR away from the TV.

The Number buttons won’t work for TV channels above 69.

•Enter channel numbers as a two-digit number. If you want to select channels 100 and above, enter chan- nel numbers as a three-digit number. If you do not have Cable TV, only channels 2-69 are available.

TV programs cannot be watched normally.

•Check the connections between the DVD/VCR, TV, antenna/Cable TV signal, and Cable Box/Satellite Receiver (if applicable). Details are on pages 8-15.

Poor reception

•You may need to tune your TV again. Or, reset channels at the VCR using CHANNEL SET UP. Details are on pages 26-27.
