Adding/Erasing Channels

We recommend you check the channels the VCR automatically stored. It might have stored distant, weak channels that you normally would not watch, or it might have missed channels you want to store.

If the tuner stores a channel that you do not want, repeatedly press (or press and hold) CH s or CH t to tune to that channel, then press ADD/DLT. CHANNEL nn DELETED appears, and the unwanted channel is erased from the tuner’s memory.

CHANNEL 08 DELE TED

If you want to program a weak channel that au- tomatic programming missed, enter the desired channel number using the remote control’s number buttons. Then press ADD/DLT. CHAN- NEL nn ADDED appears, and the channel is added to memory.

Follow these steps to reprogram the tuner.
