INSTRUCTIONS
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
2. Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
3. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

1 Check contents
Make sure the package contains all of the accessories listed in “SPECIFICATIONS” (Z pg. 49).
2 Situate VCR
Place the VCR on a stable, horizontal surface.
3 Connect VCR to TV
The following connections are required.
RF Connection
1 Disconnect the TV antenna from the TV.
2Connect the TV antenna cable to the ANT. IN terminal on the rear of the VCR.
3Connect the supplied RF cable between the RF OUT terminal on the rear of the VCR and the TV’s antenna input terminal.
AV Connection (improves picture quality during

NOTES:
cThe VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF connection. The VCR’s CH3-CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.
cEven if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will ensure that you can record one show while watching another (Z pg. 20).
cFor full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the Index ( Z pg. 47).

INITIAL SETTINGS |
Plug & Play
Setting
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set
ATTENTION
cIf you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set the clock and tuner channels separately. (Z pg.10 – 14)
cIt takes several minutes for the VCR to complete the Plug & Play setting.
cDo not press any buttons on the front panel or on the Remote while Plug & Play is in progress.
SP EP
VCR 
This VCR sets the clock and tuner channels automatically when AC power cord is first connected to an AC outlet. The antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play setting.
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.
1 Perform Plug & Play setup
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (Z pg.
6). Then connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet. Do not turn on the VCR.
The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically.
NOTES:
cAuto Clock Set is performed first.
“Auto” blinks on the front display panel during Auto Clock Set.
cAuto Channel Set is performed next. Auto Channel Set scans all the channels that are receivable by your VCR. During Auto Channel Set, the channel numbers are displayed as they are scanned and set.
cWhen Plug & Play setting has been complete successfully, the correct clock time is displayed. If you perform Plug & Play setting successfully, there is no need to perform the clock (Z pg. 10) and tuner (Z pg.
13)settings. If, however, you want to add or delete channels, refer to Manual Channel Set on page 14.

*If an incorrect clock time or “– –:– –” appears on the display panel, see “What to do if Plug & Play setting failed” below.
INFORMATION
cIf “AUTO CLOCK” is set to “ON” on the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour (except 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) using the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR is turned off. The clock will be adjusted just on these hours — on the time displayed on the front panel display, not on the actual real time.)
The default setting of “AUTO CLOCK” is “ON”.
cIf the memory backup fails, because a power outage occurs or because the AC power cord is unplugged, Plug & Play will be performed when power is restored to the VCR.
cPoor antenna or cable signal may prevent the VCR from receiving the Auto clock setting data from the PBS channel. If this function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may be necessary to perform the Semiauto or Manual Clock Set procedure.
What to do if Plug & Play setting failed
cIf an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semiauto (Z pg. 11) or Manual Clock Set (Z pg. 12) procedure.
cIf “- -:- -” appears on the front display panel, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal available in your area. 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 Manual Clock Set (Z pg. 12) and Auto Channel Set or Manual Channel Set (Z pg. 13 or 14).
