Before turning on your VCR, make sure there are batteries in the remote control and the VCR and TV are connected (see pages five - 10).

You can not set up channels if you are using a Cable Box/DBS.

The instructions on this page only work when you turn on the VCR for the first time. If there is a power failure or if the VCR is unplugged for more than one minute, you may need to repeat the instructions on this page.

(If you try to set up channels when there is no antenna or cable connected to the VCR, programming will appear to take place. Eventually, TUNER SET UP will appear on-screen steadily, and channel programming will stop. Connect an antenna or cable to the VCR, then press the MENU button, the F.FWD button, or the REWIND button again. Channel programming will begin again.)
