• The remote control and its batteries are supplied.

• Do not mix alkaline and manganese batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

Before Using the TV/VCR 5

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

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

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

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

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

press the COMBI button when using the remote control to operate the TV/VCR. Point the remote control at the Cable Box/DBS, then press the CABLE/DBS button when using the remote control to operate the Cable Box/DBS.

● 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. 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.

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

To record again, cover the hole with cellophane tape.

12 Setting the Clock

• 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.

38 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System

First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR Plus+ programming system to work properly. Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the TV/VCR with your local channel information. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel line-up list, if applicable (you can request one from your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

NOTE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel must be 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel.

Now, compare the channel numbers you have written in the VCR PLUS+ CH. and CABLE/TV CH. columns. You’ll notice that some stations have VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers that are the same, and other stations have channel numbers that do not match. Where the channel numbers DO NOT match, you must tell the TV/VCR the VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers according to the following steps.

● Make each entry within 60 seconds of the previous entry.

Look at the lists you filled in on page 38. For stations whose VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channels do not match, press the PLAY/▲ button or the STOP/▼ button until the arrow is beside the VCR Plus+ channel you need. Then, press the Number buttons to enter the corresponding Cable/TV channel from your list. Continue this process until

you have entered all the stations on your list. Note: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel will be 03 or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel. You must set the Cable Box/DBS to the channel you want to record; leave the Cable Box/DBS on for the timer recording.

Press the STATUS/EXIT button.

• To correct a Cable/TV channel number, repeat the steps on this page.

• To clear a Cable/TV channel number, repeat steps 3-5 on this page. Then, press the CH(annel) mm/

48 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 51. 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.

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 or the TRACKING mm/nnbutton on the remote control. Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.
