Setting Up the VCR

Startup

5. Use the on-screen menu system.

Point and Select is the method you use to move through the menu system. There are two ways to accomplish this method. One is using the MENU•PROG and number buttons on the remote that correspond to the numbered menu items. The second way is using MENU•PROG or MENU and arrow buttons on the remote or front of the VCR to point and select an item in the menu. Although there are two ways to access the menu system, only the number buttons are referenced throughout this manual to explain the VCR features and operations.

Using the arrow buttons

The on-screen menus can be accessed with either the arrow buttons on the remote or the front panel. Using the arrow buttons on the VCR front panel is especially helpful if the remote becomes inoperable. The up/down arrow buttons move the highlight bar up and down to point to a menu item, and the MENU•PROG button selects the item. They are also used to enter data and change settings of selected features. The left and right arrows move from one location to another with the right arrow moving forward and the left arrow moving backward.
