Welcome To Your New VCR...
To help you get started using your VCR with as
little reading as possible, we've put all the basic
information needed in the first three sections. So
that you start off quickly, there's even an initial
setup feature the first time you turn on your VCR.
This will walk you through several set up steps at
one time.
1FIRST THINGS FIRST
V
Getting Started
Before the initial setup, though, learning about
the time and date, your remote control's features,
working with channels, and basic video tape
operations is essential for you to get all that you
can out of the VCR. Once you are comfortable with
these features, feel free to refer to other sections
because they cover the more detailed information.
V
V
II I
What Remains?
The final sections of this manual contain
playback and recording information, a section on
detailed connections, and a reference section
including troubleshooting tips, warranty
information, and an index.
V
V
READ ME! 1
These note boxes give you tips for
your new video cassette recorder.
3

Step 1: What's in the Box?
The following items come packed in the box:
•VCR
• Remote control
• RF coaxial cable
II
STEP 2: Install Batteries in the
Remote Control
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the
batteries in your VCR remote.
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place the batteries into the remote's back panel. Match the
positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery to the
diagram inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
STEP 3: Connect your VCR
If you connect your VCR to your home antenna or cable system
and then to your TV, use the VCR's ANT IN and RFOUT jacks as
shown to the right for a good signal.
If you have a TV with AUDIONIDEO jacks, use these jacks for
a better connection. Refer to the section, Connections, toward
the back of the manual, for additional connection options.
STEP 4: Plug in the VCR
Your VCR's power cord has a plastic band strung through the
blades. Remove plastic band before plugging the cord
into the power outlet. To remove the band, cut with a pair of
scissors and pull it free of the blades. Once the plastic is removed,
match the wide blade of the power cord to the wide slot in the
power outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

STEP 5: Tune the TV
Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel. The VCR viewing
channel is channel 3 or 4 or the TV's video input.
•If you connect your VCR using the ANTENNA connectors
with RF coaxial cable, set the 3 CH. 4 switch to channel 3
or channel 4--the channel you want to use on your TV.
If you connect your VCR using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks
with audio/video cables, select the TV's video input with
the remote control's INPUT button to see the signal. If you
have trouble understanding the VIDEO INPUT CHANNEL,
look to page 49 for a more detailed explanation.
STEP 6: Turn on the VCR
Press POWER on the VCR's front panel or the VCR button on
the remote control to turn on the VCR. The first time you turn
the VCR on, a menu screen appears. This is the start of an initial
set up which helps you set different options for your VCR.
STEP 7: Quick Set Guide
The Quick Set Guide is an automated procedure that
automatically helps you set your VCR. The first time you turn on
your VCR, the first screen of the guide appears. Use the remote
control's number buttons to select your choice.
Select a language.
Seleccione un idioma.
Choisissez une langue.
1>English
2 Espa_ol
3 Frangais
1. Press 1 for English, 2 for Espafiol (Spanish), or 3 for
Frangais (French).
The remaining menus throughout the set up will appear in the
chosen language. Just follow the step-by-step procedures until
setup is complete.
If the menu does not appear:
Make sure the TV is tuned to the same channel as the
3 CH 4 switch or the TV's video line input (see page 49
for more information) (Continued on next page)

When using the ANT IN and RF OUT
jacks to connect your VCR, tune
your TV to channel 3 or 4.
The 3-4 switch on the back of the
VCR determines which TV channel
is used to see VCR output.
When using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks
to connect your VCR, tune your TV
to the TV's video input channel with
the INPUT button on your remote
control. For more information about
selecting your video input channel,
see page 49.

• Make sure the VCR indicator is on in the VCR display if
you connected your VCR using the IN FROM ANT and
RF OUT jacks
• Check your connections.
If you chose to set up your VCR options individually instead of
using the initial set up, then go to the next section.
STEP 8: Accessing Menus
The MENU and number buttons on your remote control let you
access, select, and change your VCR's preferences. For example, to
select adifferent preferred on-screen language than the one you
selected during the initial set up:

Time and Date
The VCR gives you two ways to set the time and date: manually,
and the Auto Clock Feature. The Auto Clock Feature enables the
VCR to update the clock each time the VCR is turned off. The
Auto Clock is advantageous because it updates the time for you
automatically.
Before you set the time and date, set the Auto DST (Daylight-
Saving Time) feature to ON or OFF for your area.
Auto Clock Set Feature
The Auto Clock Set feature is set to ON at the factory. In the ON
setting, the VCR looks for a channel carrying XDS (Extended Data
Services) information. XDS updates the clock using the
Coordinated Universal Time. There are certain steps that are
required, such as Auto Channel Search, setting the Time Zone,
and setting the Daylight Saving feature before the Auto Clock
feature works.
Auto Clock Information
With a cable box, the VCR will not
reset the clock after a power outage
unless the cable box is turned on to
the channel carrying the XDS signal.
If AUTO CLOCK SET is unsuccessful,
try tuning the VCR to (or cable box)
to a channel carrying the broadcast
information (usually PBS), then turn
the VCR off. If the time does not set
within 10 minutes, set the time and
date manually through the menu
items.
Check your local cable system or TV
stations for availability of channels
with XDS.

choice. Once selected, hit MENU to continue.
