 The number of stations automatically stored

by the DVD-VCR depends on the number of stations that it has found.

 The time and date are set automatically

from the broadcast signal. If the signal is weak or ghosting occurs, the time and date may not be set automatically. In this case, they should be set manually (refer to page

16).

 Once the auto scanning procedure has

finished, some stations may have been stored more than once; select the stations with the best reception and delete the ones no longer required (refer to page 20).
