Before turning on your VCR, make sure there are batteries in the remote control and the VCR and TV are connected correctly.

Follow the steps on this page only when you plug the VCR power cord into the wall outlet for the first time.

You may not be able to program channels at step 5 if you are using a Cable Box.

1

Turn on the TV. Set it to the same channel as the CH3/CH4 switch on the back of the VCR.

2

Press the VCR button, then the POWER button. The VCR light will appear on the display panel and the language select dis- play screen shown below will appear. (If the display does not appear, check your hookups, then follow the steps on page 12 to program channels and page 19 to select a language.)

5

Press the CHANNEL (Up) button to begin automatic channel programming. AUTO SET PROCEEDING PLEASE WAIT will appear on-screen. The VCR will place all of the chan- nels you receive into its memory, so when you scan through chan- nels using the CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons, you’ll only scan through channels that you receive. When all channels are pro- grammed, CHANNELS ARE SET will appear on-screen briefly. Then the TV will go to the lowest channel programmed.

Helpful Hints

To skip this feature and play a tape immediately, insert a tape with its record tab removed. Or, to skip step 3, press the MENU button. All on- screen displays will be in English. To skip step 5, press the STOP button. Channels will not be programmed, and CHANNELS NOT SET will appear on-screen.

If you try to program channels when there is no antenna or cable connected to the VCR, programming will appear to take place, but even- tually a NO TV SIGNALS message will appear on-screen. Connect an antenna or cable to the VCR’s ANT(enna) IN Jack and try again. You may need to follow the steps on page 12.
