INSTALLING YOUR VCR
AUTO INSTALLATION
PROCEDURE
This model automatically tunes the TV channels for your area, then using Teletext information
sorts the TV channels into a standard order and sets the clock. If the VCR has not previously
been tuned-in, instructions will be given on screen to guide you through this procedure.
1. Ensure your VCR is still in the STANDBY mode.
2. Switch on the TV. Select an unused
channel on your TV for your VCR (there
may be a dedicated video channel refer
to your TV operation manual).
3. Press STOP. The VCR will search and
display the ideal RF channel.
•
If you are connected via a scart lead, go to step 5.
CAUTION:
4. Tune the selected channel on your TV
(refer to your TV manual) until the
menu screen appears.
5. Press SET to store the RF channel
setting and continue with the
installation.
NOTE:
✔The TV is tuned to the VCR.
• If the clear button is pressed at this point it will not allow the TV to be tuned to the VCR.
Refer to RF through ON/OFF below.
• If you have a preferred channel, the RF channel can be set manually (21-69) after
Step 3 using [ / ] keys.
RF THROUGH ON/OFF:
• If you wish to connect your VCR to the TV with only a scart lead, the RF Output on your
VCR can be turned OFF and ON at Point 3 by pressing the CLEAR button then
continuing with the installation. This will help minimise interference.

BASIC OPERATION
SCART LEAD CONNECTION (NOT SUPPLIED)
A scart lead can be connected at any time. It is recommended to connect your TV and VCR
in this way as it will provide improved picture and sound quality. Please refer to the connection
diagram on page 4.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO
TAPES
VIDEO TAPES
• If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the
video heads.
• If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide
from the tape may "clog" the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be
"snowy", or even disappear.
• To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you
will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning
is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
• Use video tapes which carry the mark.
HOW TO PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE
PLAYBACK
1. Switch on your TV and select the video channel.
2. Carefully push a pre-recorded video
tape into the tape compartment. This
will switch the VCR on.
3. To start playback, press
PLAY/X2 ( ) once.
BEFORE YOU PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE
Condensation forms in the VCR when it is moved out of or into a warm place.
If you try to playback or record, the video tape and VCR may be damaged.
Turn the VCR on and wait for about two hours until the VCR reaches room
temperature before operating.
• If the record-protection tab has
been removed, the VCR will start
playback as soon as the video tape
has been loaded.
