[. . . ] If your TV has automatic channel programming, set it on the same mode - ANT, CATV1 or CATV2 - and let it reprogram to match the VCR. Once channels are preset, you can use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to move through the active channels. Or you can press the number buttons to move quickly between channels that are far apart. Removing Channels You may not want to keep all the stations the auto-programmer selects, since you may prefer to have only a few favorite channels in the tuner's memory. Or, you may want to delete from memory a weak or unused channel that the tuner picked up. · Erased channels cannot be selected by the up and down CHANNEL SELECT buttons but can still be selected by using the numbered buttons 0 to 9 and 100/ENT. 26 Getting Started (Initial Setup) Adding Channels Occasionally the auto-programming may skip an active channel because the antenna was pointed in the wrong direction or the channel had a weak signal or was "off the air" at the time of programming. Or you may change your mind about a channel you removed from memory. To Add or Erase Channels · Press GUIDE twice, then press 1 to bring up the Initial Setup screen. Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to change, then press STOP to delete it or press PLAY to add it. Caution After a Power Failure If a power failure lasting for more than 5 seconds occurs, reset the clock and perform the "AUTO CHANNEL SETTING" found in the "INITIAL SET-UP" menu. 27 Getting Started (Videotapes) Getting Started (Videotapes) · About Videocassette Tapes Types The best thing you can do for your VCR is use the best quality tapes available.

Let's go! · Viewing a Videocassette To Play Back a Recorded Tape 1. Insert the cassette, arrow-side forward, into the slot at the front of the VCR. The power comes on automatically and the tape indicator lights on the LCD display. Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4) using the number buttons on the TV's remote control. If the safety tab has been removed, the tape automatically begins to play when you insert it. Direct Video Input to the TV Normally you would select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from the VCR. You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary video input feature and if the TV and VCR have a direct video-to-video hookup. If this is the case, do not select channel 3 or 4.
