D Perform Plug&Play setup

Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically. The time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in your area.

ATTENTION:

If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately ( pg. 6 – 7).

Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not receive the Auto clock setting data from a PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be

necessary to perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set” ( pg. 6) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 6).

During Initial Auto Clock Set

“Aut” blinks.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.

Plug&Play Completed

The current time is displayed.

What to do if Plug&Play setting failed

If an incorrect time is displayed on the display panel, perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set” ( pg. 6) or “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 6).

If “–:– –” appears on the display panel, ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the Plug&Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug&Play setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected

correctly, perform the procedure in “Manual Clock Set” ( pg. 6) and “Auto Channel Set” ( pg. 7) or “Manual Channel Set” ( pg. 7).

E Set VCR channel

The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF connection. Press POWER 1 to turn off the VCR, then press STOP/EJECT (0) on the VCR for more than 5 seconds. “CH3” appears on the display panel. Press CH+/– on the Remote to select “CH3”, “CH4” or “CH–”(OFF), then press OK.

The VCR channel is preset to “CH3”. Set to “CH4” if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area.

F Final preparation for use

Turn on the VCR and the TV, and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV mode) on the TV. You can now perform basic playback or basic recording.

If you connect the TV and the VCR only using the RF connection, press TV/VCR on the Remote so that the VCR mode indicator lights on the display panel.

If your cable box or DBS receiver has audio/video output connectors, connect an audio/video cable between the AUDIO/ VIDEO IN connectors on the rear of the VCR and the audio/ video output connectors on the unit.

If both a cable box and a DBS receiver are used, it is recommended that you connect the DBS receiver to your VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO IN connectors and the cable box to your VCR’s ANT. IN connector.
