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.
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.
