BEFORE YOU BEGIN

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

Be sure to remove the remote control and 75-

ohm coaxial cable before you store the packing

material.

Depending upon your audio/video system set-

up, you might need additional cables or adapt-

ers (available at your local RadioShack store).

Read “Installation” on Page 9 to determine

your specific needs.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Condensation inside the VCR can cause tape

jams or video head damage. When you move

the VCR from a cold area to a warmer one, let

it sit for about 2 hours before you plug it in and

begin operation. This allows any moisture in-

side the VCR to completely evaporate.

USING THIS MANUAL

This manual has these major sections:

Installation

— shows you how to connect the

VCR to your audio/video system and a cam-

corder. It also explains how to set up your VCR

so you can use it with a cable box or direct-to-

home satellite receiver.

VCR Setup

— includes procedures for setting

the output channel switch, preparing and using

the remote control, setting the on-screen pro-

gramming language, setting the channels your

VCR can tune, and setting the clock.

Operation

— explains how to watch TV using

the TV’s or VCR’s tuner, load and play a video

tape, fast-forward and rewind a tape, use the

special playback, display, and search features,

use the real-time counter and the zero search

function, and set the tracking manually.

Special Functions

— describes what appears

on the VCR’s display and the TV screen, how

to use the VCR’s Commercial Advance and

Movie Advance features, use index search,

and use repeat play.

Recordin

g

— describes the different recording

methods.

Additional Information

— includes a trouble-

shooting section, care and maintenance proce-

dures, and the VCR’s specifications.

We recommend you thoroughly read at least

“Installation” on Page 9 and “VCR Setup” on

Page 13, to be sure you correctly install and

set up your VCR.

When reading through this manual, keep the

following in mind:

• Some buttons on the remote control also

appear on the VCR. You can use either

button to operate the same functions.

Some procedures use only the VCR’s but-

tons, or only the remote control’s.

• Some buttons are labeled differently on the

VCR and on the remote control. Since you

use the remote control most often to

change settings and functions, this manual

refers only to the remote control’s labels.

Unless otherwise noted, however, you can

use either the remote control’s or the

VCR’s buttons at any time.

• All buttons, switches, and jacks on the

VCR and all buttons on the remote control

are shown in

BOLD UPPERCASE

letters in

this manual.

• Information that appears on the TV screen

is shown in this typeface:

PLAY

• Information that appears on the VCR’s dis-

play is shown in this typeface: VCR

• The VCR displays menus and options on

the TV you connect it to, and other infor-

mation (such as tape motion indicators, the

real-time counter, etc.) on its display.

If a menu disappears before you finish

entering information, simply locate the step

where you first pressed

MENU/ACTION

on

the remote control, then begin again at that

step.
