excellent performance. This TV/VCR has an automatic head cleaning system. However, the video heads will eventually require cleaning or replacement. Only an authorized service cen­ter should perform this service.
Video cassette tapes have record tabs to ensure that recordings are not accidentally erased.

12 Setting the Clock
• Entries that do not match the TV/VCR’s clock or calendar will cause a question mark (?) to appear on the screen.
• To make corrections while you are setting the clock, press the CLEAR button until the space for the informa­tion you want to correct is flashing. Then enter the correct information.
Helpful Hints
There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection. With manual clock setting, you tell the TV/VCR the current time. With Automatic or Manual PBS Channel Selection, the TV/VCR gets the time from your local PBS station. If you use either Manual PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock according to your Time Zone.
Cable Box users must set the clock manually.
To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12-13. To set the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 14-15. To set the clock using Manual PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps on pages 16-17. Before you begin, make sure:
The TV/VCR is hooked up and turned on.
Channels are set up.
You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

SmartLock enables parents to prevent their children from watch­ing inappropriate material on TV. SmartLock reads the ratings for programming (except for news and sports programs, unedited movies on premium cable channels, and Emergency Broadcast System signals), then denies access to programming if the program’s rating meets or exceeds the limita­tions you select. The ratings are defined on page 45. To block ratings, follow the steps below.
• If the “Incorrect Access Code...” mes­sage appears after step 3, enter the correct access code.
• Programming may be rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) or according to the Television Parental Guidelines. In order to block any inappropriate programming, set your limits in both places (Movie Ratings and Parental Guidelines). You will complete steps 1-7 twice, choosing Movie Ratings at step 5 the first time, then choosing Parental Guidelines at step 5 the second time.
• You can not view tape playback if the rating of the tape is blocked.
• If you enter the access code once, you may change channels without seeing the “CHANNEL XX BLOCKED” message again. If you turn off the TV/VCR power, you will be asked for the access code again when you tune to a blocked channel.

Follow the steps below to select closed captions. Not all TV programs and commercials are broadcast with closed captions. Similarly, all types of closed captions (second language, half-screen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed caption­ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your area’s TV program listings for the shows offered with closed captions.

52 Automatic Operation Features
The following playback features will always operate.
Automatic Playback
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the TV/VCR will eject the tape if the record tab is missing.
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set to zero. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.
Memory Rewind, Power Off
When the POWER button is pressed while the TV/VCR is rewind­ing a tape, REW POWER OFF will appear on the screen. The TV/VCR will turn itself off when the tape has finished rewinding. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to zero, then turn itself off.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed, a tape can not be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.
Automatic Tracking Adjustment
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).
Manual Tracking
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p but­tons on the TV/VCR. Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.

Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.
• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
