TV OPERATION

Selecting the

Signal Source

The first step in programming your TV/VCR is to select the signal source of your antenna or cable TV system.

1With the main menu on the screen, press CH until “Setup” is highlighted.

2Press VOL+.

3Press VOL– or VOL+ to select “Antenna,” “Cable STD,” “Cable HRC,” or “Cable IRC.”

If your TV/VCR is connected to an antenna, select “Antenna.” If you have cable TV, select “Cable STD,” “Cable HRC,” or “CABLE IRC,” depending on the type of cable system you have.

Programming

the Channels

Storing Channels in

Memory

Your TV/VCR can automatically memorize all the channels you receive. Once they are in memory, you can use CH and CH to select channels without using the number buttons.

Before you can store channels in memory, you must have already selected the signal source. See “Selecting the Signal Source” on this page.

1With the main menu displayed, press CH until “Setup” is highlighted.

2Press VOL+.

3Press CH until “Auto Program” is highlighted.

4Press VOL– or VOL+ button to begin automatic programming.

The TV/VCR automatically cycles through all the channel numbers and places the available channels in memory. This takes one to two minutes.

Press MENU at any time to interrupt the programming process and return to normal viewing.

5When the programming process is complete, press CH or CH to scan the channels stored in the TV/VCR’s memory.

Occasionally the TV/VCR will miss an active channel if the signal is weak or if the channel is off the air when you start programming. Likewise, an unavailable channel may be included in memory if there are stray signals on that channel.

Adding and Erasing Channels in Memory

You can manually add or erase a channel from your TV/VCR’s memory.

1Use the number buttons to select the channel you want to add to or erase from the TV/VCR’s memory.
