Tracking
Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes the streaks or
snow from the picture. Automatic tracking is activated when you
insert a tape or turn on the VCR. Occasionally you may need to
adjust the tracking manually, especially if the tape was recorded
on a different VCR. Just use the TRACKING buttons to remove
the streaks or snow. You can also use tracking when you pause a
tape to reduce jittering of the picture.
When you manually adjust the picture, automatic tracking is
turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on, press both
TRACKING buttons on the front of the VCR at the same time, or
eject the tape and re-insert it.
Tracking has no effect during recording - only playback.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a
program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps
locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time
counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from
the VCR.
For example, if you record a 30-minute program at the
beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of that
program to begin another recording, you would:
1. Press INFO twice to display the time counter.
2. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3. Press FWD to forward the tape until the time counter reads
0:30:00.
,
,
Press STOP.This is the approximate end of the program.
(You may want to press PLAY to verify.) Now, you can begin
recording at this spot.
Press INFO twice to remove the time counter from the
screen and return to the normal display mode.

Things to Know Before
Connecting Components
i
Protect Your 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.
V
V
Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum
or Interference
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the
TV's back panel instead of straight down the
middle after you connect your components.
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep
them away from the audio/video cables as much
as possible.
i •
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the SafetyTips sheet packed
with your unit.
Protect Your Components from Overheating
• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the
components. Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
• Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top
shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will
not flow around other components.

Connecting Your VCR
Refer to these pages to help you connect your VCR.
Jacks and Cables
RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)
The RFjacks provide good picture and mono sound quality,
and must be used if audio/video connections are not available
for your TV.
Thesejacks are required for antenna or cable-TV connections.
The RFjacks on theVCR are labeled ANT. IN and RF OUT.The
coaxial cable supplied with your VCR is used to connect the
VCR's RF OUT jack and yourTV's antenna input.
O
RF Jack
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The AUDIO/VIDEOjacks provide very good picture quality and
mono sound, and can be used if your TV has audio/video input
jacks.
These jacks are used for most audio/video connections
between components. The VCR AUDIO/VIDEO jacks are color
coded (yellow for video and white for audio).
If yourTV has two inputs for audio (stereo), you may need aY-
adapter to hear sound from both channels.

Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways to connect your VCR,
depending on whether or not you have cable service, and if you
have a cable box, and whether some of the channels are
scrambled, and maybe you have a satellite receiver along with
cable (but no cable box), or a satellite receiver and no cable
or...well, you get the picture.
Five connections are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR connection that works.
• TV with RFjack only
• TV with audio/video jacks
• TV with audio/videojacks and cable box to unscramble pay
channels only
If you need to connect additional components not shown in the
diagrams here (and are unsure of how to connect them), refer to
the instruction manual that came with that particular
component.
Advantages of Audio/Video Cable
Connections
Using a simple coaxial cable connection gives you good picture
quality. If your television has audio/video jacks, I highly
recommend using them to get even better picture quality and
mono sound when recording and playing back videotapes.
These connections give you more convenient operation by not
having to share theTV's antenna signal.

Cleaning the VCR
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner
to dust your VCR. Remove dust from the ventilation holes on the
top, back, sides, and bottom of the cabinet.
Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by
alcohol and various solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based
furniture polishes since the materials used in the cabinet will
accumulate more dust. We recommend using a nonabrasive,
antistatic cleaner and polisher.
I Specifications are subject to change. 1
