HI, MY NAME IS SUSAN...
and I wrote this User's Guide. It's my job to see
that you have a rewarding user manual experience.
And, I think you'll be pleased with the features that
can be accessed through the on-screen menus.
FIRSTTHINGS FIRST
V
READ THE FIRSTTHREE SECTIONS
The first three sections of the manual introduce
you to yourVCR, and show you how to set theVCR
up and use the on-screen menus. Reading these
sections gives you the basic information you need
to use yourVCR.
WHAT'S LEFT?
The rest of the book highlights playback and
recording information, contains a detailed
connections section, and a reference section that
includes troubleshooting tips, limited warranty, and
index.

Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the
batteries in your VCR remote.
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place batteries in the remote, matching the + and - ends of
