Step 5 : Setting up the VCR with the Auto Set Up function

Before using the VCR for the first time, set up the VCR using the Auto Set Up function. With this function, you can set the TV channels, guide channels for the ShowView system, and VCR clock automatically.

REGL CANAL

Hold down REGLAGE AUTO on the VCR for more than three seconds.

The VCR automatically turns on, starts searching for all of the receivable channels, and presets them in the appropriate order for your local area (according to the TV system you selected in “Tuning your TV to the VCR”).

If you want to change the order of the channels or disable unwanted programme positions, see “Changing/disabling programme positions” on page 27.

If you use the SMARTLINK connection, the Preset Download function starts and the SMARTLINK indicator flashes in the display window during download.

After the search or download is complete, the current time appears in the display window for any stations that transmit a time signal. If the time does not appear, set the clock manually. See page 32.

To cancel the Auto Set Up function

Press REGLAGE AUTO.

Notes

Do not cancel the Auto Set Up function. If you do, repeat the steps above.

The Auto Set Up function may require a long time to complete (approximately 15 to 18 minutes).

Whenever you operate the Auto Set Up function, some of the settings (ShowView, timer, etc.) will be reset. If this happens, you have to set them again.
