FIRST THINGS FIRST

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. To help
you along,
there’s even an initial setup feature the first time you
turn on your VCR which walks you through several
set-up steps at once.
Getting Started
Before this first step, though, learning about
the time and date, your remote control’s features,
working with channels, and basic video tape
operations are essential to get all 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.
What Remains?
The final sections of this manual contain
playback and recording information, a detailed
connections section, and a reference section including
troubleshooting tips, and an index.
READ ME!
These note boxes give you tips for
your new video cassette recorder.

Step 1: What’s in the Box?
The following items come packed in the box:
• VCR
• Remote control
• RF coaxial cable
• 2 AAA Batteries
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 IN FROM ANT and OUT TO TV
jacks for
a good signal as shown to the right.
If you have a TV with AUDIO/VIDEO jacks, use the 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. Match the wide blade of the power cord to the wide slot
in the AC 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 IN FROM ANT and OUT
TO TV jacks with RF coaxial cable, set the CH3/CH4 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. For
more information, see, “How to Find Your TV’s Video Input
Channel” in the Reference section of this manual.
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
setup which helps you set different options for your VCR.
Step 7: Initial Setup
The first on-screen menu during the initial setup asks which
language you prefer to use for your VCR. Use the remote
control’s number buttons to select options.
Seleccione un idioma.
Select a language.
Escolha uma idioma.
1 Español
2 English
3 Português
1. Press 1 for English, 2 for Español (Spanish), or 3 for
Português (Portuguese).
The remaining menus throughout the setup 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 CH3/CH4
switch or the TV’s Video Input Channel (see “How to Find Your TVs
Video Input Channel” in the Reference section of this manual for
more information).
Continued on next page
VCR Viewing Channel
When using the IN FROM ANT and
OUT TO TV jacks to connect your
VCR, tune your TV to channel 3 or 4.
The CH3/CH4 switch on the back of
the VCR determines which TV
channel is used to see the VCR’s
output.
When using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks
to connect your VCR, tune your TV
to the TV’s Video Input Channel with
the TV and INPUT buttons on your
remote control. See, “How to Find
Your TV’s Video Input Channel”in
the Reference section of this manual
