TV/VCR Maintenance
● In this TV/VCR, use only tapes with the mark.

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.

• Entries that do not match the
TV/VCR’s 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 number you want to correct is flashing.

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.

42 SmartLock
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.
• Tape playback will not be available
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.

Automatic Operation Features 51
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 OFFwill 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 or the TRACKING m/n buttons on the
remote control.
Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape
is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.

54 Helpful Hints
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 places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom
of the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.
• 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.
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall
outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
• If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an
authorized service center.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.
• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.
Dew Warning (Moisture Condensation)
• Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heating a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in
your TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and
the TV/VCR could be damaged. If you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep
the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to
dry.
TV/VCR will not perform a timer recording.
• Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 32-35). Midnight is 12 a.m.
Noon is 12 p.m.
• Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.
• Make sure the clock is set (pages 12-17).
• Make sure there is a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.
• If the power fails, programmed timer recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock
will reset itself automatically if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14-17. If
you are not using the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12-13.)
The timer recording will not occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the
power failure.
• Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF (page 36).
TV/VCR will not record.
• Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).
• Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF (page 36).
• Plug the power cord into an active AC outlet (page seven).
• Check your hookups (pages six-seven).
• Set up the channels (page 10).

• Gently push on the center of the tape. Never force a tape into the TV/VCR.
• 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.
A tape can’t be removed from the TV/VCR.
• Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternating current) outlet.
• If a timer recording is programmed, 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.
TV/VCR ejects the tape when you try to start a recording.
• Make sure the tape has a record tab. Details are on page five.
The cylinder rotates when tape playback is stopped.
