●Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will ensure that you can record one show while watching another.

DPerform Plug&Play setup

Plug the AC power code into an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

ATTENTION:

If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately.

During Initial Auto Clock Set “Aut” blinks.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

Plug&Play Completed

The current time is displayed.

What to do if Plug&Play setting failed

●If an incorrect time is displayed on the display panel, perform the “Semiauto Clock Set” or “Manual Clock Set” procedure.

●If “–:– –” appears on the display panel, ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug&Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug&Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform “Manual Clock Set” and “Auto Channel Set” or “Manual Channel Set”.

ESet VCR channel

The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF connection. Press POWER to turn off the VCR, then press STOP/ EJECT (0) on the VCR for more than 5 seconds. “CH3” appears on the display panel. Press CH+/– on the Remote to select “CH3”, “CH4” or “CH–”(OFF), then press OK.

●The VCR channel is preset to “CH3”. Set to “CH4” if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area.

FFinal preparation for use

Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode) on the TV. You can now perform basic playback or basic recording.
