Using the Remote Control to

Navigate On-Screen Menus

The technical term is “Navigation” – how you move through the on-screen menus. The theory is the same for all the menu screens: highlight your choice and select it.

To highlight a menu item, press the remote control’s arrow buttons to move the highlight cursor to a desired menu item. Use the up or down arrow button to move up or down, and right or left arrow buttons to move right or left.

To select the item that you’ve highlighted, press OK.

Note: Selecting a menu item can take you to another menu, activate a choice, or activate a data entry area (such as the hour field in the Set Time menu).

Complete the QuickSet Guide

The menu system in your VCR allows you to customize your preferences as well as use all the VCR’s features. To help you use the VCR as quickly as possible, there is an initial QuickSet Guide that walks you through several important setup steps at one time.

The first time you turn on the VCR, you will be able to set up available channels, time and date information, and more. The first menu you will see asks which language you prefer to have the on-screen menus appear in.

Note: With numbered menu choices, press the corresponding number button on the remote control to automatically select it. In the case of the language menu, press 1 for English, 2 for Español (Spanish), or 3 for Français (French).

The remaining menus throughout the setup will appear in the language chosen. Just follow the step-by-step procedures until the QuickSet Guide is complete.

Accessing Menus

The series of preferences that are set in the QuickSet Guide can also be handled individually using the VCR’s on-screen menu system. There are other settings not covered in the initial setup that are also handled using the on- screen menus.

For example, if you decide to run the QuickSet Guide again, you can access the Setup menu by pressing the remote control’s MENU button, then the 5 button to choose Setup. From there, you can start the QuickSet Guide from the beginning.

All on-screen menus are accessed the same way, starting in the Main Menu which is displayed by pressing the remote control’s MENU button.

Note: See chapter two, Using On-Screen Menus, for details about changing the VCR’s individual settings.
