between channels that are far apart.

Removing Channels

You may not want to keep all the stations the auto-programmer selects, since you may prefer to have only a few favorite channels in the tuner's memory. Or, you may want to delete from memory a weak or unused channel that the tuner picked up.

Erased channels cannot be selected by the up and down CHANNEL SELECT buttons but can still be selected by using the numbered buttons 0 to 9 and 100/ENT.

Adding Channels

Occasionally the auto-programming may skip an active channel because the antenna was pointed in the wrong direction or the channel had a weak signal or was "off the air" at the time of programming. Or you may change your mind about a channel you removed from memory.

To Add or Erase Channels

Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the Setup screen. Item 5 in setup screen lets you add or delete channels. Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to change, then press STOP to delete it or press PLAY to add it.

Caution After a Power Failure

If a power failure lasting for more than 1 minute occurs, reset the clock and perform the "AUTO CHANNEL SET" found in the "SET-UP" menu.

About Videocassette Tapes

Types

The best thing you can do for your VCR is use the best quality tapes available. This VCR uses VHS tapes only, which are the most common type. Look for the VHS mark on new or prerecorded tapes you buy.

Tapes are marked either T-120 or T-160, which signifies how many minutes of programming they can hold at standard recording speed (SP). To get the best quality picture, record at standard speed. But if you want to get more on a tape and are less concerned about the quality, set the VCR for extended play (EP).
