64 DISCOVER THE DUAL-DECK DIFFERENCE
“I can’t record from my TV.”
When the VCR is in VCR mode and your TV is set
to channel 3 or 4, you should be able to view the
desired channel on your TV. If you have a cable
converter box, make sure the VCR is tuned to the
cable converter box output channel.
“I can’t timer record.”
Make sure that your Dual-Deck VCR’s clock is set to
the proper time. Double check the AM/PM setting. If
you have a cable converter box, make sure the timer
record channel setting in the TIMER RECORD menu
is set to the cable converter box output channel (2, 3
or 4) and the cable box is set to the channel you want
to record.
“My remote control isn’t working.”
There are several things which could cause your
remote control not to function properly. First, make
sure you are aiming the remote control directly at the
VCR. Make sure there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the VCR so the ‘beam’ is not
obstructed. Also, the signal from the remote can be
obstructed if a very strong light source, such as
sunlight, falls on the front panel of the VCR. Finally,
make sure the batteries in your remote control are
fresh and installed properly.
“When I use Copy Tape, my tapes are recorded ata speed other than what was set.”
In the COPY TAPE menu, check to see if Speed
Matching is on. When this feature is on, the recording
speed of a copy will be set to the speed of the source
tape. If you want to change the speed at which the
tape is being copied, turn this feature off.
“When I use Copy Tape or put a tapeinto record, the tape ejects.”
Make sure there is a Record Safety Tab on your tape.
If the tab is missing, you can place a small piece of
transparent tape over the hole. This will allow you to
copy or record onto the tape.
