Many cable companies offer services permitting reception of extra channels including pay or subscription channels.

This DVD/VCR has an extended tuning range and can be tuned to most cable channels without using a cable
company supplied converter box, except for those channels which are intentionally scrambled. If you subscribe to
a special channel which is scrambled, you must have a descrambler box for proper reception.

Stereo recording and playback/Separate Audio Program (SAP)

SAP

Stereo Recording and Playback

The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity recording of MTS
STEREO TV broadcasts.

When a MTS STEREO broadcast is
received, the word “STEREO” will ap­pear

on the screen for about 4 seconds
and the program can be viewed or re­corded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure
is the same as for normal recordings.

NOTE:

When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted
over a mono cable channel. In this case the word "STEREO" will not
appear and the sound will be in mono.

Output selection

When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded
VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press A.MONITOR to select how the
audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi
STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the
stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The "R" and "L"
positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard
over both TV speakers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO
videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT
SELECTION display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer
to the chart below.

STEREO

NOTES:

• When playing back a tape that is not
recorded in Hi-Fi stereo mode, the
audio will automatically be monaural.

• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video
tape or MTS broadcast through the

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging

The video heads are the means by which the DVD/VCR reads
the picture from the tape during playback. In the unlikely event
that the heads become dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will be played back. This can easily be determined if, during
playback of a known good tape, there is good sound, but no
picture (picture is extremely snowy). If this is the case, have
the DVD/VCR checked by qualified service personnel.

NOTES:•DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE

REAR COVER.
Video heads may eventually wear out and should be replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.

•

To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.

Notes

Auto Clock Setting

Notes for Canadian customers regarding the clock feature of your DVD/VCR.

The XDS signals are carried only by certain broadcast television stations (for example, the signal is carried by
most Public Broadcasting Service stations). You must be able to receive a station carrying the XDS signal to
use the Auto Clock Setting to set your DVD/VCR’s internal clock. If you live in an area that does not broadcast
XDS signals, you must set the clock manually. Please see page 25 for instructions on how to manually set your
DVD/VCR’s clock.

Special note for residents of Newfoundland:

The Auto Clock Setting cannot be used to set the DVD/VCR’s internal clock to Newfoundland time. The time
zone command does not include a setting for the Newfoundland time zone. Trying to use the Auto Clock Setting
in the Newfoundland time zone could result in an incorrect time setting or no setting at all. Please set your DVD/
VCR’s clock using the Manual Clock Setting.
