Welcome to Your New VCR...
To help you get started using your VCR with
as little reading as possible, we've put all the basic information needed in the first three sections.
To help you along, there's even a QuickSet Guide the first time you turn on your VCR, which walks you through several setup steps at once.
Getting Started
Before this first step, though, learning about the time and date, your remote control's features, working with channels, and basic video tape
operations are essential to get all you can out
of the VCR. Once you are comfortable with these
features, feel free to refer to other sections because
they cover the more detailed information.
FIRST THINGS FIRST

What Remains?
The final sections of this manual contain
playback and recording information, a detailed
connections section, and a reference section including
troubleshooting tips, warranty information, and an
index.

I READ ME! ]
These note boxes give you tips for your new video cassette recorder.

Step 1: What's In the Box?
The following items come packed in the box:
VCR Remote control
RF coaxial cable
Step 2: Install Batteries In the
Remote Control
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the
batteries in your VCR's remote.
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place the batteries into the remote's back panel. Match the positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery to the
diagram inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
L_
Step 3: Connect Your VCR
If you connect your VCR to your home antenna or cable system and then to your TV, use the VCR's ANT. IN and OUT TO TV jacks for a good signal as shown to the right.
If you have a TV with AUDIONIDEO jacks, use the jacks for a
better connection. Refer to the section, Connections, toward the back of the manual, for additional connection options.
Step 4: Plug In the VCR
Your VCR's power cord has a plastic band strung through the
blades. Remove plastic band before plugging the cord into
the power outlet. To remove band, cut with a pair of scissors
and pull it free of the blades. Once the plastic isremoved, match
the wide blade of the power cord to the wide slot in the AC
outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.

Step 5: Tune the TV
Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel. The VCR viewing channel is channel 3 or 4 or the TV's video input.
If you connect your VCR using the ANT. IN and OUT TO TV
jacks with RF coaxial cable, set the CH3 CH4 switch to
channel 3 or channel 4-- the channel you want to use on your TV.
If you connect your VCR using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks with audio/video cables, select the TV's video input with the remote's TV and INPUT buttons to see the signal.
See "How to Find Your TV's Video Input Channel" in the
References section of this manual for more information about your TV's input channel.
Step 6: Turn on the VCR
Press POWER on the VCR's front panel or VCR on the remote to
turn on the VCR. The first time you turn the VCR on, a menu
screen appears. This is the start of a QuickSet Guide which helps
you pick different options for your VCR.
Step 7: Using the QuickSet Guide
The QuickSet Guide is an automated procedure that helps you
set up your VCR. The first time you turn on your VCR, the first
screen of the Guide appears.

CH3 CH4 switch A/V input/output jacks
When using the ANT. IN and OUT TO
TV jacks to connect your VCR, tune your TV to channel 3 or 4. The CH3
CH4 switch on the back of the VCR determines which TV channel
is used to see the VCR's output. When using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks
to connect your VCR, tune your TV to the TV's video input channel with the TV and INPUT buttons on your
remote control. For more information about selecting the TV's
video line input, see "How to Find Your TV's Video Input Channel" in the References section of this
manual.

Check your connections.
If you choose to set up your VCR options individually, then go to
the next section.

Time and Date
The VCR gives you two ways to set the time and date: the Auto Clock Feature or manually. The Auto Clock Feature enables the VCR to update the clock each time the VCR is

Auto Clock Set Feature
The Auto Clock Set feature is set to ON at the factory. In the ON setting, the VCR looks for a channel carrying XDS (Extended Data Services) information. XDS updates the

(or cable box) to a channel
carrying the broadcast
information (usually PBS), then
turn the VCR off. If the time does

Things to Know Before
Connecting Components
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.
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. Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded. Refer to the Safety "rips 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.

The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality,
and must be used if audio/video connections are not available
for your TV. These jacks are required for antenna or cable-TV connections.
The RF jacks on the VCR are labeled ANT. IN and OUT TO TV. The coaxial cable supplied with your VCR is used to connect
the VCR's OUT TO TV jack and your TV's antenna input.

RF Jack
Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)
The AUDIONIDEO jacks 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 AUDIONIDEO jacks are color coded (yellow for video and white for audio). If your TV has two inputs for audio (stereo), you may need a Y-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, if you
have a cable box to see this service, whether some of the cable channels are scrambled, and so on.
Three connections are described in this section and one of them should provide you with a VCR connection that works.
TV with RF jack only TV with audio/video jacks
TV with audio/video jacks 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 the TV's antenna signal.
Don't Forget About the Auto TV/VCR Feature
The TV/VCR switch controls whether the picture signal is coming from the VCR or the TV.
Set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when you use only the RF ANT. IN and OUT TO TV connections and OFF when using the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks--so your TV signal is not interrupted
when the VCR is turned on.

How to Find Your TV's
Video Input Channel
You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel if you are
using the VCR's AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks to connect to the TV's
AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT jacks. You must select this "channel"
before you can see the VCR's menus, the cable or antenna reception, and the content that's on a tape.
The video channel on TVs varies for different brands and
different models. Below are some steps to try:
If your TV brand is GE, RCA, or PROSCAN, press the TV button on the remote control that came with the VCR. Then
press the INPUT button on the remote. If you have another brand of TV, consult the section, VCR
Basics, to see if the VCR's remote control can be set to
control your TV. If so, follow the step above.
If those options do not work, try the following ideas. You might
access the Video Input Channel by:
pressing a button on the remote (see table below) selecting the channel from the TV's menu system
(see table below)
tuning directly to the channel by selecting a specific channel
number (see table below) going through all the channels in the channel list by
pressing the channel up or down buttons on the TV.
Some common scenarios are listed in the Video Input Channel
Variations table that follows:

Cleaning the VCR
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust your VCR. Remove dust from the ventilation holes 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.
