Introduction
Introduction
Key Features Overview
Your VCR is equipped with features that will add to your recording experience. The following
information summarizes a few of these features. Chapter 3 provides more information about the
rest of the VCR’s features and how to use them.
Remote Control
Description: The VCR’s remote control can operate most RCA, GE, and
Proscan VCR’s.
Requirements: Point the remote control at the VCR and press VCR, then
POWER, to see if the VCR can be operated.
One Touch Recording (OTR)
Description: OTR quickly records the remaining portion of a program already
in progress. OTR is a great way to capture the end of a sporting event that has
run into overtime or a live broadcast that runs long.
Requirements: Repeatedly press the RECORD button on the VCR front panel or
REC/OTR on the remote control to set the desired duration of time to record.
Timer Recordings
Description: Your VCR allows you to program up to eight different future
broadcasts to be recorded. You can catch a one-time, daily, or weekly
broadcast to record.
Requirements: The VCR’s clock must be set correctly. A tape with its safety
tab in place and enough tape to record a program must be inserted into the
VCR. For a cable box or satellite receiver, turn it on and tune it to the channel
you want to record before the recording is to begin.
Front Audio/Video Input Jacks
Description: The VCR has Audio/Video (A/V) input jacks on both the front and
rear of the unit (there are output jacks on the rear panel only). The front A/V
jacks make it easy to plug in an external A/V device, such as a camcorder.
Requirements: Make sure that all A/V connections are snug. To see a connected
device’s image, turn the VCR to its Video Line Input by pressing the remote
control’s INPUT button. Select L1 to select the jacks on the back of the VCR or
select L2 to select the jacks on the front of the VCR.

Connections & Setup
Things to Consider Before Connecting
Components
Protect Components From Power Surges
• Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.
• Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any
cables.
Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference
• Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
• Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight
down the back after connecting components.
• Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as
possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet
packed with your unit for detailed information.
Protect Components From Overheating
• Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from
it will not flow around other components.
Cable Considerations
The RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR carries both sound and picture information. This
is the cable used in all connection diagrams in this chapter.
If your TV has A/V input jacks, you should use A/V cables (not supplied) to connect the VCR to
the TV. A/V cables provide better picture and sound quality than an RF coaxial cable. If you
would like to hook up your VCR using A/V cables, refer to the Advanced Connection
information on page 41 in the Other Information chapter of the manual.

Using the RF Coaxial Cable to Connect the VCR
to a TV
The picture shows the RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR. This will be
the cable used for the basic connections represented in this chapter.
Notes: A/V jacks and cables provide a superior image and sound quality.
You will need to purchase Audio/Video (A/V) cables (not provided) and
connect the VCR to the TV using A/V jacks. For details about using this
advanced setup, see the instructions on page 41.
Using A/V jacks to connect the VCR to the TV requires tuning to the TV’s
Video Line Input to see the VCR’s picture. For more information about
finding your TV’s Video Line Input, see page 40.
RF Coaxial Cable
Choose Your Connection
There are several ways to hook up your VCR depending on the components connected.
Please use the following chart to determine which connection is best for you and proceed
to the appropriate page.
