More About Channel Selections

Your VCR is capable of receiving 68 broadcast TV channels (VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69) and 125 cable channels (CATV 1-125).

When you press 2 on the Initial Setup screen, the tuner automatically cycles through all available channels in your area and places them in memory. This takes 2-3 minutes. You can watch the progress on the VCR's display - when the channel numbers stop changing, programming is complete. Only when the power goes out for more than 30 minutes do you need to preset the channels again.

•In some areas channels cannot be switched when CATV1 is selected. Then, select CATV2 in your Initial Setup screen.

•For convenience, the TV channel numbers should match those programmed into the VCR. If your TV has automatic channel programming, set it on the same mode - ANT, CATV1, or CATV2 - and let it reprogram to match the VCR.

Once channels are preset, you can use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to move through the active channels or you can press the number buttons to move quickly 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 5 to bring up the Initial Setup screen. Item 3 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.
