5. Place channels in the VCR’s memory.
The first time you turn on the VCR or after a power interruption, the VCR displays a message on the TV screen prompting you to AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH. If the message does not appear, go to step A below. If the message appears, follow the directions on the screen.
Wait until the channel numbers stop changing. This takes about one to two minutes. The TV tunes to the lowest channel found. Then, pressing CHAN up or down selects only the active channels.
If you ever need to manually SETUP CHANNELS on the
VCR because you change cable or antenna signals:
A. Press MENU to display the VCR MAIN MENU. If this menu does not appear:
•Make sure the TV is tuned to same channel as the 3CH.4 switch on the VCR or the TV’s video input (refer to TV’s manual).
•Press VCR, then press MENU again.
•If you use a basic hookup, check the VCR indicator in display panel — it should be on. Press TV•VCR to turn it on.
•Check the connections.
B. Press 3 to display the CHANNELS menu.
C. Press 1 to begin AUTO CHANNEL SEARCH.
The VCR automatically selects CABLE (cable TV) or ANTENNA. If you need to change the setting manually, press 3.
