Setting Up the VCR

5. Place channels in the VCR’s memory.

The first time you turn on the VCR or after a power interruption, perform the AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH so that your VCR can memorize the channels available through your signal source—cable or antenna.

Also, if you change the signal source, you will need to perform AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH again.

A. Press MENU to display the VCR MAIN MENU on the TV screen. If this menu does not appear:

Make sure TV is tuned to same channel as CH3 CH4 switch on the VCR or the TV’s video input (refer to TV’s manual).

If you use a basic hookup, check the VCR indicator in display panel — it should be on. Press TV•VCR to turn it on.

Check the connections.

B. Press 3 to display the CHANNELS menu.

C. Press 1 to select the signal source, SIGNAL:CABLE or

ANTENNA.

D. Then, press 2 to begin AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH. If you are using a cable connection as your signal source, 125 channels are searched for the strongest signals and the letter C appears on the VCR’s display panel. If you are using an antenna connection, 69 channels are searched.

Wait until the channel numbers stop changing. This takes about one to two minutes. The TV tunes to the lowest channel found. Then, pressing CHANNEL up or down selects only the active channels.

If you need to change the signal source setting, select 1 in the CHANNELS menu.

6. Add or remove channels from the VCR’s memory.

You may want to add or remove channels if some of the channels are not active, have weak signals, or you do not want to watch them.

You must place channels in memory using the AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH feature described above before you can add or remove channels.

A. Press MENU on the remote to see the VCR MAIN MENU.

B. Press 3 to display the CHANNELS menu.

C. Press 3 to display the ADD/REMOVE CHANNEL menu.

D. Select the channel you want to add or remove by pressing the number buttons or using the CHAN up or down buttons on the remote.

E.Press the MOVE left button to remove the selected channel. Press MOVE right button to add the selected channel.

F.When you are finished adding or removing channels, press MENU to remove the menu and resume normal viewing.
