Helpful Hints

•If you do not see any on-screen dis- plays when you turn on the VCR, check your hookups, then try again. If you still do not see any on-screen displays, follow the steps under “Automatic Channel Setup” on page 12 and “Language Selection” on page 16.

•If you try to set up channels when there is no antenna or cable connect- ed to the VCR, programming will appear to take place. Eventually, AUTO SET UP will appear on the screen steadily, and channel program- ming will stop. Connect an antenna or cable to the ANT(enna) IN jack of the VCR, then press the MENU but- ton, the F.FWD button, or the REWIND button again. Channel pro- gramming will begin again.
