Getting Started (Controls)

VCR, TV, CATV Device buttons let you set the remote to control one of the three devices.

0 to 9 Number buttons used in on-screen programming. Can also be used to change channels. (Simply press 2 or 3 digits for the channel you want - such as 0 and 6 for channel 6, or 100/ENT and 2 and 4 for channel 124.)

AVX Used for recording from an auxiliary input such as a stereo system.

CHANNEL Top button switches to the next higher channel, bottom button switches to the next lower channel. For these to operate, you must have preset your channels.

LAST CHANNEL Switches to the TV channel you watched previously during the current viewing session.

F.FWD Fast forwards the videotape.

STOP Stops a videocassette from playing, recording, pausing, rewinding - or anything it is doing.

PAUSE Temporarily stops the cassette from recording or playing. Press PAUSE again (or PLAY) to resume.

When the Remote Doesn't Work Right

Check out these possibilities:

Low Battery

If the remote is not working even at close range, try putting in two fresh AA batteries.

￿When replacing the batteries, remove the old batteries and press the POWER button on the remote and hold it for about 10 seconds, then insert two fresh batteries.

Objects in the Way

There may be objects between the remote and the VCR - for instance, a stack of books on the coffee table, your 2-year-old, the dog. Hold the remote so that it points at the VCR with nothing in the way.

Set to Wrong Device

It may be set to VCR2 when you're trying to control VCR1. To confirm that this is the case, try pressing VCR2 and a function button (like channel up or down). If the remote works now, you know that it's set to VCR2. To reset it to VCR1, refer to the on-screen Initial Setup options.

If You Just Want to Watch TV

For normal TV viewing, you do not need to disconnect the VCR. When the TV and VCR are already on, press POWER on the remote control. The VCR will shut off, but the TV will stay on.

If you are recording on the VCR but want to watch a different channel on the TV, press the VCR/TV button to switch back and forth between the TV channel and the recording channel.
