Before Using the TV/VCR 5

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

1

Remove the battery compartment lid on the bottom of
the remote control by sliding it in the direction of the
arrow.

2

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment
with their +and –ends aligned as indicated.

3

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

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

● Do not put objects between the remote control and the

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 recording, break off the tab with a
screwdriver.

2

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

8 Hooking Up the TV/VCR (cont’d)

Fuse Replacement
(Car Battery Cord)

If the TV/VCR does not have power when connected properly in
your vehicle, you may need to replace the fuse in the car battery
cord.
Use only a 5-amp, 250-volt, fast blow fuse, which is available
at an electronics retailer.

1

To remove the old fuse, unscrew the red cap from the end of the
cord. Place your fingers on the grooved part of the cap and turn
the cap counter-clockwise.

2

When the cap is removed, the red cap and the silver tip will be
loose. The fuse will be loose inside the end of the cord.

3

Remove the old fuse and insert a new fuse.

4

Replace the red cap and the silver tip. The fuse will tighten into
place as you screw on the cap, turning the cap clockwise. (The
end of the fuse will fit into the silver tip, which is in the center of
the red cap when tightened.)

Turning On the TV/VCR 9

• Entries that do not match the
TV/VCR’s calendar will cause a
question mark (?) to appear on the
screen.

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 20 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 13-14. To set
the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the steps
on pages 15-16. To set the clock using Manual PBS Channel
Selection, follow the steps on pages 17-18.
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.
