Startup
2. Insert two AAA batteries in the remote control as shown.
3. Place your TV/VCR on a stable surface.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
TV/VCR, take care in selecting a stable surface or a strong steady
stand and a location where the TV/VCR cannot be tipped over or
easily pulled off, particularly by children. Do not attempt to carry or
move this product with one hand. Grasp the TV/VCR with both
hands, with the front of the TV/VCR against your body, to prevent it
from slipping out of your grasp.
4. Connect antenna or cable-TV system.
Connect the supplied dipole antenna, a different home antenna, or a
cable-TV system. Details on page 27 and 28.
5. Connect power cord to the TV/VCR.
Connect either the AC power cord or the DC car cord to the back of
the TV/VCR. Then, if you chose the AC power cord, plug the other
end into a 120-volt electrical outlet, or, if you chose the DC car cord,
plug the other end into a 12- or 24-volt cigarette-lighter socket in
your vehicle.
6. Turn on the TV/VCR.
Press POWER on the TV/VCR or remote. The POWER indicator on
the front of the TV/VCR will light.
If moving the TV/VCR from a cold area to a warm area,
moisture may develop inside the unit. If this happens, unplug
the power cord and allow the TV/VCR to reach room
temperature before playing a tape. This is especially important
when using this unit in a vehicle where temperature changes
can be dramatic.

sure what type of cable system you have, contact your cable company.
8. Program the channels into memory (Auto Program).
In order to automatically program channels into the TV/VCR’s memory, you
must have already selected the signal source (see step 6), and the antenna or
cable system must be connected to the TV/VCR.
A. Press MENU on the remote to display the main menu. Then press the CH
3
or
4
button until Setup is highlighted. Press VOL+ to display the Setup menu.
