Press the CHANNEL (Up) button to begin automatic channel programming. AUTO SET PROCEEDING PLEASE WAIT will appear on-screen. The VCR will place all of the chan- nels you receive into its memory, so when you scan through chan- nels using the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons, you’ll only scan through channels that you receive. When all channels are pro- grammed, CHANNELS ARE SET will appear on-screen briefly. Then the TV will go to the lowest channel programmed.

Helpful Hints

•To skip this feature and play a tape immediately, insert a tape with its record tab removed. Or, to skip step 3, press the MENU button. All on- screen displays will be in English. To skip step 5, press the STOP button. Channels will not be programmed, and CHANNELS NOT SET will appear on-screen.

•If you try to program channels when there is no antenna or cable connected to the VCR, programming will appear to take place, but even- tually a NO TV SIGNALS message will appear on-screen. Connect an antenna or cable to the VCR’s ANT(enna) IN Jack and try again. You may need to follow the steps on page 12.
