Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of
the remote control by pressing in the tab, then pulling up
the lid.

Using the Remote Control

TV/VCR Maintenance
● In this TV/VCR, use only tapes with the mark. The use of
other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive
deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the
warranty if damage occurs.
● 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 excel-
lent 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.
2
To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

• 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.
● Tape playback is stopped. You can not use Automatic or Manual
PBS Channel Selection during tape playback.
● You make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

• Although the remote control that
comes with your TV/VCR will work
most Cable Boxes and DBSs, it is
possible that the remote control will
not operate your Cable Box or DBS.
• The remote control may only operate some features of your Cable
Box or DBS. For example, some
Cable Boxes may only be turned on
at the Cable Box, therefore the
remote control will not be able to
turn on the Cable Box.
• If you can not change the channels
at the Cable Box by using the
Number buttons, press the
CABLE/DBS button before you press
the Number buttons. It may change
channels at the Cable Box.
• If you had to program the remote
control to operate your Cable Box
or DBS here, whenever you replace
the batteries in the remote control,
you will have to program the
remote control again.
Helpful Hints

that the remote control
