10 Turning on Your VCR

Before turning on your VCR, make sure there are batteries in the remote control and the VCR, TV, and Cable Box/DBS (if applicable) are connected.

The menus will continue to appear every time you turn on the VCR until you complete the steps on pages 10-11.

If you want to set up the Controller now, you must first connect the Controller. See page 49 before continuing.

Leave the Cable Box turned on if you plan to set up the Cable Box Controller now.

If you plan to set up the Controller now, set the Cable Box to a channel other than channel 09.

Read through these steps before you begin; the process will be easier if you familiarize yourself with this information before beginning.
