AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the VCR which are used to record audio from another source (IN) or to send audio to another source (OUT).

Automatic Channel Programming: process in which the VCR scans all available channels and places the ones you receive in its memory. Then, when you push the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons, you only scan through channels you receive.

Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.

Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2 - 13) and UHF (ultra high frequency; channels 14 - 69).

Cable – all standard channels can be received without a Cable Box.

Cable Box Output Channel: Channel 3 or 4.

Dubbing: copying a tape using a second VCR.

Frame: a single still picture.

HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced picture detail.

Line Input: The channel to which you set your VCR during dub- bing. The line input channel is always channel 001 (AV REAR) or 002 (AV FRONT).

If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV REAR or AV FRONT will appear on your TV screen briefly), press the CHAN- NEL (Up/Down) buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

Mode: a VCR operation.

OTR: one touch recording; programming a timed recording that starts immediately and records for 30 minutes to eight hours, whichever you specify.
