Getting Started
With cable connections, numbers selected to receive specific channels may differ from those for antenna connections. Refer to your cable service information.
Clock Adjustment
In the clock adjustment mode, be sure to enter the first digit within 60 seconds, or the TV/VCR Combination will automatically leave this mode.
Be sure to enter "0" before
Enter the first digit to set the month within 60 seconds of the appearance of the clock set guide. Otherwise, the program you were watching will return to the screen. If this happens, press the Prog button and start again.
The letters for day of the week will automatically appear when you have entered both digits for the year.
If the day digit entered does not match the calendar, it will advance to the first day of the next month (for example, "FEB 29 94" will advance to "MAR 01 94").
If you press the Prog button while the clock set guide appears, the TV screen will return to the program you were watching.
Special Playback Features
During search playback, horizontal noise bars will appear on the TV screen.
After the TV/VCR Combination is in the still or slow mode for 3 minutes it will stop automatically to protect the tape and video head.
In search, still or slow motion playback, some amount of noise may appear for tapes recorded in SLP mode. The picture may be completely snowy in search, still or slow motion mode for tapes recorded in SP and LP speed.
To Record
While it is possible to change the tape speed when you are recording, there will be some distortion on the tape where the change occurred.
After the TV/VCR Combination has been in pause for 5 minutes it will stop automatically to protect the tape and video head.
One Touch Recording
During a one touch recording, press the OTR button once to see display showing the remaining recording time.
The cassette will eject automatically if its record tab is missing when you press the OTR button or Standby button.
If the preset time for a timer recording comes up during a one touch recording, the one touch recording will take priority.
Timer Recording
Timer recording may not be performed or continue if a power interruption of more than about 1 minute occurs before or during timer recording, even if power resumes thereafter.
If the start times of 2 preset programs overlap, the preset time of the lower numbered program will have priority.
