Setting Up Your VCR
Making the right connections
It's essential that your VCR be properly hooked up for proper results. Follow these steps carefully. THESE STEPS MUST BE COMPLETED
BEFORE ANY VCR OPERATION CAN BE PERFORMED.
With a standard RF connection,
the VCR sends picture and sound
signals through the connecting
cable to your TV on channel 3 or
4. The VCR's switch is pre-set to
CH3 prior to shipment. Set this
switch to CH4 in areas where
channel 3 is used for broadcasting.
Back of VCR NOTES:
nTo operate the VCR with your TV using an RF
connection, it is always necessary to set your TV's
channel to the one you set the VCR to in this step.
nEven if your TV is connected using AV input
connectors, it is necessary to also connect your VCR
and TV using the RF cable if you ever wish to watch
a program while recording another (Zp. 23).

Setting your VCR's clock
Since your VCR bases all of its timer recording start and stop "decisions" on the time kept by its built-in clock, accurate setting of this
clock is crucial for proper timer-recording results. *When scanning the host station, the clock is automatically set (refer to page 6 of
the INDEX Plus+ manual).

Your VCR is incorporated with the D.S.T. function which
automatically adjusts the clock at the start/end of Daylight Saving
Time, making manual re-setting unnecessary.
When D.S.T. is set to ON:
●On the first Sunday of April, 1 minute after 1:59AM the
VCR's clock is adjusted to 3:00AM.
●On the last Sunday of October, 1 minute after 1:59AM the
VCR's clock is adjusted to 1:00AM.
nIf you live in an area without Daylight Saving Time, keep

Setting your VCR's tuner and Cable Box Controller
Follow these steps if you use an external Cable Box (descrambler) to receive cable stations. When properly set-up, the Multi-System
Cable Box Controller will automatically switch channels on your Cable Box so you can timer-record two or more cable TV stations. It
works for Cable TV shows that have been programmed using VCR Plus+ (Zp. 26) or On-Screen (Zp. 28) programming.
NOTE:
nAbout Your Cable Box:
This VCR has two separate methods to control your Cable Box. The
provided Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your Cable Box.
The VCR's Cable Box Controller can also control your Cable Box.
The former eliminates the need for a separate Cable Box Remote
Control Unit. The latter is to change your Cable Box's channel
number during timer recordings. Each method must be set up
separately. To set up the VCR's Remote Control Unit Zp. 31.

COMPARE CHANNEL NUMBERS
Most TV listings will have a chart indicating the "Guide Channel"
number that each TV station has been assigned for purposes of
VCR Plus+ programming. Check in your TV listing and see
whether that number is the same as the channel number you receive
that station on with your VCR or Cable Box.*
If the numbers match, you don't have to do anything. You can
go directly to "Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.
If there are stations where the numbers are different, and
you want to be able to timer-record them, you will have to
"tell" the VCR about the mismatch. Go to step 1.
If there are stations where the numbers are different, but
you don't want to timer-record them, you can go directly to
"Timer-Recording with VCR Plus+" p. 26.
*SPECIAL NOTE FOR CABLE
SUBSCRIBERS
nIn many instances, cable TV stations have VCR Plus+ Guide
Channel numbers that DO NOT match the actual channel
number the station is received on. Check your TV listing, or
check with your cable supplier for details.
nIn many instances, normal broadcast TV stations can be viewed
on cable. Check your TV listing, or check with your cable
supplier for details.
Setting up the VCR Plus+ feature
Depending on the broadcast stations that are receivable in your area, or the cable stations offered by your cable supplier, you may have
to make certain changes in your VCR's "Guide Channel Set" menu to get proper results. Please read on and find out what you need
(and don't need) to do. (After host station scanning, Guide Channel Setting is accomplished automatically, so there's no need for you
to do it manually. Refer to page 6 of the INDEX Plus+manual).
Make sure that you have already...
set the VCR's clock
set the VCR's tuner.
set the Cable Box Controller (Zp. 12) if using a Cable Box.
