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

Select CABLE TV at the TUNER SET UP menu (page 12), then let the VCR set up the channels.

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. (See page 24 for details.)

TV programs cannot be watched normally.

Put the VCR in TV position. (Press the VCR/TV button so that the VCR light disappears from the display panel. For details, see page 28.)

Check the connections between the VCR, TV, antenna/cable, and Cable Box/Direct Broadcast System (if applicable). (See pages six - 10 for details.)

Tape cannot be inserted.

Insert the tape, window side up, with the record tab facing you.

Make sure a tape isn’t already in the VCR by pressing the STOP/EJECT button on the VCR.

Gently push on the center of the tape when putting it in the VCR. Never force the tape into the VCR.

If a timer recording is programmed and the VCR power is off, you can not insert a tape without a record tab.

Tape cannot be removed.

Make sure the power plug is completely connected to a power outlet.

You have set a timer recording. Turn the VCR power on, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the power for your timer recording.

VCR ejects the tape when the REC(ord)/OTR button is pressed or when the VCR power is turned off to set a timer recording.

Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).

Channels above 13 cannot be received.

Select CABLE TV at the TUNER SET UP menu (page 12), then let the VCR set up the channels.

Poor reception

You may need to tune your TV again.

The motor (cylinder) rotates even when the VCR is in Stop mode.

To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal. The quick play mechanism allows the tape mechanism to switch from Stop mode to Play mode in one second.

Direct Broadcast System Hookups

Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a DBS hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 03 or 04, then make your channel selections at the DBS. (See page nine for details.)

With many DBS hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you will have to put your VCR in Line Input mode (channel 001 or 002).

Line Input mode

If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the CH(annel) o/p button or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound (VCA631 only)

During playback, Hi-Fi audio may temporarily revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking. This is normal.

When connecting the VCR to a stereo TV, you will only get stereo sound if you use audio cables to con- nect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line (Auxiliary) Input mode.

When you connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the TV might not glow. But, as long as the status display indicates you are receiving a stereo sig- nal, you are receiving a stereo signal. This is normal.

Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play back in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will play back in monaural audio.
