the TV’s screen.

You will see the best picture if you sit directly in front of the
TV about -lo- 18 feet from the screen.’ Picture brightness will

produke mahy’colors. To produce

these colors, however, the beanis

must be Ij’ecisely aligned over each \

The process bf aligning these picture
be,ams is called ;setting the ,,
“convergence”.

Over a period of time, the iicttire ”

to tiotial bumps and vibratjons or

colored rings or halos around objectk

When the SRS ON/OFF function is set

electronically increases the audio
separation ofthe speakers so you can
perceive a more spacious stereo sound
effect. If a stereo signal is not ‘present,
ym can set the SRS ON/OFF function
to its SYNTH STEREO setting to
synthesize and process the mono
signal.

When the SRS ON/OFF function is’set
to ON, you can also change the next

N,dRMAL or ENHANCED. When this

. function is set to ENHANCED, the ’

perceived audio separation will be

iotes ‘About Controlling Two VCRs

This remote can control two VCRs
independently as long as each VCR operate!
on a different.remote transmitting~cocle.
Some newer VCRs are,capable f working
on either’of two remote codes. These VCRr
have either a switch labeled VCRUVCRZ

or

an on-screen display titled REMOTE

VCRUVCR2. You can

then set your new

VCR to respond to the remote’s VCR2eLD

button and your older VCR to respond to th

VCR1

button.

Some older VCRs’have a

NORM/UNIFIED

switch that can also respond’ to either the

VCR1

or

VCRZ-W

button on the remote.

Place this switch in the

UNIFIED

position

for the VCR to respond to’ the

VCR1

button

or in the NOR&f position for the

VCR2*LD

button. In the yORh4 position, you must ,,
program the

VCR20W

button to respond to
code number, 05.
If neither of your VCRs have switchable

‘code capabilities, you still may be able to

use the

VCRlNCR2

feature to control two
VCRs of the same brand since many older
VCRs use remote codes that are different
thti newer VCRs. ,You may want to
experiment to see what works with your
particular VCRs.

,1. Refer to the chart below to find the :

code number that corresponds to the
brand name of your VCR. Keep,
this number in mind.

If more than

. one number is listed, you may need

to try each one separately until you
find the one that works.

2. Press and hold the VCR1 or
VCRZ*LD button on remote
(depending on which button you

and cannot,be turned on and off remotely.
If you have this type of VCR, you can test,

An S-VHS or standard camcorder can be connected directly to

video connection, attach the audio cable to the INPUT 1
ZUMONO audio jack. ’ .

‘Operation:

l

If the camcorder, is connected to the VZDEO INPUT 1 jack
(instead of the S-VIDEO connector), select channel 91 on the

TV to view whatever the camcorder is playing.

l

If the camcorder is connected to the S-VIDEO connector and
