• If you want to set the tuner manually such
as to add or skip channels, to change
channel positions, or to set station names,
see pages 16-18.
• If no station is stored in the VCR’s memory,
make sure the TV antenna cable is con-
nected correctly and turn off the VCR
power once, then turn it back on again. Re-
perform from Preparation on page 9.
Notes:
• Auto channel set function takes place first; it
automatically assigns all receivable stations
in your area.
• Auto clock set function sets the clock auto-
matically by reading the clock setting data
from a station transmitting a PDC signal
while auto channel set is being performed.
• During auto channel set, the VCR recognizes
each station name of the detected stations and
stores them in the VCR’s memory, then
automatically sets SHOWVIEW system’s
assigned Guide Channel number for those
stations according to the broadcast area.
• In the area where no station TV transmits a
PDC signal, the VCR can perform neither
auto clock set nor auto Guide Channel
number set.
• If there is a power cut, or if you press
STANDBY/ON , POWER or MENU while
Auto Set Up is in progress, Auto Set Up will
be interrupted; be sure to turn off the VCR
power once and try again from step 1.
• Auto clock may not function properly
depending on the reception condition.

•In certain reception conditions, station names
may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide
Channel Number Set may not work properly.
If the Guide Channel numbers are not set
properly, when you timer-record a TV

the channel position on which your VCR
receives the broadcasting station you wish to
record is selected. (✈P.27).
•Your VCR memorizes all detected stations
even if reception of some of them is poor. In
these cases picture quality may be poor. To
delete those stations with an unacceptable
picture, see page 17.

S HOW V IEW
®Set Up
To ensure that SHOWVIEW Timer Recording
operates correctly, it is necessary to set the
“Guide Channel (GUIDE CHANNEL)” number
for each station.
“Guide Channel (GUIDE CH) number” refers
to the assigned TV station numbers, according
to broadcast area, for SHOWVIEW timer
recording. The Guide Channel numbers can
be found in most TV listings.
IMPORTANT
Normally, Auto Set Up (✈P.10), Follow TV
(✈P.12) or Auto Channel Set (✈P.16) sets the
Guide Channel Numbers automatically. You need
to set the Guide Channel Numbers manually only
in the following cases:
a) when timer-programming with SHOWVIEW
system, the channel position, where the station
you wish to record is received on your VCR,
is not selected or when you add a channel
after Auto Set Up, Follow TV or Auto
Channel Set has taken place. In this case, set
the Guide Channel Number for that station
manually.
