INSTALLING YOUR VCR
AUTO INSTALLATION
SATELLITE RECEIVER / CABLE BOX CONTROL
If you have a satellite receiver or cable box connected to your VCR you can automatically install the satellite channels using this feature. The installation procedure for cable boxes is the same as for satellite receivers (for cable box connections refer to your cable box manual).
Follow steps 1-4 below before INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
1.
Connect your satellite receiver to the VCR as previously shown.
Place the satellite receiver near the VCR (ideally on the top). This ensures that the
2.
reflected infrared signals from the VCR which control the satellite receiver can reach it unimpeded.
3.
Ensure all the channels you wish to be tuned are within channel positions 1-199 on your satellite receiver as the VCR will only tune the first 199 channels - refer to your satellite receiver operation manual for instructions on moving channels.
4.
Ensure the receiver is not in any special mode.
• The satellite channels can now be tuned in as part of the auto-installation procedure. You will be prompted for further information from the on-screen displays.
• SHARP cannot guarantee this feature will work with all satellite receivers and cable boxes.
• See the list of satellite receiver manufacturers codes at the end of this manual.
All information relevant to satellite receiver control will display this symbol.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
These models automatically tune the TV channels for your area, then using Teletext information sort the TV channels into a standard order and set the clock.
• Ensure the VCR is connected as previously shown.
• Turn the TV on and select the video channel.
• Press
If the VCR has not previously been tuned-in, instructions will be given on screen to guide you through this procedure.

BASIC OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTES ON YOUR VCR AND VIDEO TAPES
VIDEO TAPES
• If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the video heads.
• If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide from the tape may “clog” the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be “snowy”, or even disappear.
• To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
• Use video tapes which carry the mark.
SECAMPAL
HOW TO PLAYBACK A VIDEO TAPE

NICAM/IGR Hi-Fi STEREO SOUND
Your VCR can receive and record programmes broadcast in NICAM or IGR sound (the factory pre-set condition for NICAM is AUTO). NICAM or IGR sound may not be stereo, this depends on the programme being received. Audio is automatically recorded in two different ways:
(i) Hi-Fi: Using specialised rotary heads, two audio signals are recorded on to the tape. These will be stereo, mono or bilingual depending on the sound being received.
(ii) Normal: A mono recording is also made on the conventional analogue audio track.

PLAYBACK OF A VIDEO TAPE
PLAYING BACK AN S-VHS TAPE
S-VHS (super -VHS) pre-recorded tapes give you a better quality playback picture with increased detail and depth.
Your VCR will automatically recognise which type of tape is being used, VHS or S-VHS and playback the appropriate standard accordingly.
NOTE:
• All of the VCR’s playback functions can be used during S-VHS playback, SLOW, PLAY/X2, VISUAL SEARCH, etc.
• Your VCR is S-VHS playback only, it will not record S-VHS.
• Some picture noise may be observed on the screen in Long Play (LP) mode.
PLAYING BACK AN NTSC TAPE
NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a different TV standard to PAL and is used in some Non-European Countries. Your VCR can playback pre-recorded NTSC tapes onto a PAL system TV, but cannot record an NTSC signal onto a video tape.
Note that..
• You cannot record NTSC signals or dub NTSC tapes onto other VCR’s from this VCR.
• You cannot use Slow speed, Still frame, Double Speed, Frame Advance or Tape Remaining with a pre-recorded NTSC tape.
• On some televisions, the picture may appear in black and white or there may be no picture. This does not indicate a fault with your VCR.
• On some televisions, the picture may shrink vertically causing black bands to appear at the top and bottom of your screen.
• On some televisions, the played-back picture may roll vertically, this does not indicate a fault with your VCR.

If you connect a separate decoder to the VCR connected to L2 as previously shown, you will need to set the decoder function to ON in order to record the descrambled signal and/or watch it on your TV. Now, when the VCR receives a scrambled signal it is output via LINE 2 terminal to the decoder. The decoder then outputs the descrambled signal back to LINE 2 terminal and the signal can be recorded. The VCR outputs the descrambled signal to your TV through the LINE1 terminal and you can watch the descrambled picture.
When making recordings using a separate decoder connected as shown remember to leave the decoder function ON.
