The PREFERENCES menu allows changes to be made to a variety of different VCR features.

VCR Output Channel

Use this option to change the VCR’s output channel. The default is channel 3. To change the output channel to channel 4, press the MENU button. If you change the output channel to 4, you must tune your TV to channel 4 to watch channels or play a tape.

Setup

Use the Setup menu to change any of the menus in the initial setup procedure. Press MENU to go to the VCR MAIN MENU, then press the 5 button. The Setup menu is explained in detail on pages 8-9.

Preferences

The settings in this menu let you customize your VCR features.

Remote Control

If you have a universal RCA or GE remote with VCR1 and VCR2 buttons and a second VCR, you can set this VCR to be controlled with the VCR2 button. This allows you to control both VCRs from one remote.

Auto Play

With Auto Play turned on (the factory default setting), the VCR automatically starts playback when you insert a tape with its safety tab removed.

BRIGHT keeps the display bright whether the VCR is on or off.

DIM keeps the display at a low brightness level whether the VCR is on or off.

Auto TV/VCR

Auto TV/VCR Controls whether the VCR’s TV/VCR setting changes automatically to VCR-viewing mode when turned on,

Note: Pressing the TV•VCR button on the remote control will switch between VCR and TV-viewing modes. When in VCR-viewing mode, VCR is displayed on the front panel. The VCR indicator turns off when in TV-viewing mode.

EnergySaver

By default, the VCR automatically turns off after two hours of inactivity. When the EnergySaver option is selected this can be changed by pressing the 4 button repeatedly to change the time delay or to disable the feature altogether.
