S-VIDEO ConnectionIf you have a TV with S-VIDEO input terminals, see “S-VIDEO Connection” on page 8.Component Video Connection

If you have a TV with component video input terminals, see “Component Video Connection” on page 8.

4 Connect VCR to power source Connect the AC power plug to the AC outlet.

The clock and tuner channels will automatically be set when the antenna is connected and when the AC power cord is first connected to an AC power outlet ( pg. 9).

(If “Auto” or channel numbers are displayed on the front display panel before the VCR is turned on, the clock and tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait until the clock time is displayed on the front display panel before turning on the VCR.)

5 Final preparation for use Turn on the VCR.You can now perform basic playback( pg. 21) or basic recording ( pg. 26).

NOTES:

Your TV must have audio/video input connector for the connection to the VCR.

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 ( pg. 29).

For full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the Index ( pg. 83).

If you cannot see the pictures on the TV screen when you play back a tape, set “TV OUTPUT 1” to the appropriate mode ( pg. 56).
