Helpful Hints (cont’d) 59

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 pages 25 and 28.)

•Check the connections between the VCR, TV, antenna/cable, and Cable Box/Digital Satellite 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 an AC (alternating current) 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 program 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.

Satellite Hookups

•Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a satellite hookup. You may have to set your TV to channel 3 or 4, then make your channel selections at the satellite con- verter box.

•With many satellite 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. To enter Line Input mode, press 0, 0, 1 or 0, 0, 2 on the VCR’s remote control. AV REAR or AV FRONT will appear on your TV screen briefly.

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) Up/Down buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.

Daylight-Saving Time

•When automatic Daylight-Saving Time is set, the clock time will change automatically as follows: on the first Sunday in April, from 2 AM to 3 AM; on the last Sunday in October, from 2 AM to 1 AM.

•During the April time change, a timer recording programmed to start between 2 AM and 3 AM will not record. A timer recording programmed to end between 2 AM and 3 AM will end when the clock moves forward (2 AM).

•During the October time change, a recording cannot be started between the second 1 AM and 1:59 AM.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

•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.

•If Hi-Fi audio continually reverts to normal audio during playback, you may want to change AUDIO OUT to MONO at step 4 on page 56.

•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.
