Using the Remote Control

● Point the remote control at the TV/VCR’s remote sensor.

TV/VCR.

TV/VCR Maintenance

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

● Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from

the video cassette tape before putting the tape in the TV/VCR.
Removable labels like these can jam the TV/VCR.

● Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your TV/VCR’s

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.

1

To prevent accidental erasure, break off the tab with a
screwdriver.

• 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.
Then enter the correct number.

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.
