Installing your video recording
Monitor function
You can switch back and forth between the TV picture and video recorder picture with MONITOR . But this only works when you use a scart cable to connect the video recorder to your TV set and your TV set responds to this switch-over.
Sorting and clearing TV channels manually
After you have performed the automatic channel search you may not agree with the sequence in which the individual TV channels have been allocated to the programme positions (programme numbers) of the video recorder. You can use this function to individually sort the TV channels already saved or to delete unwanted TV channels or those with poor reception.

Playing cassettes
You can use this video recorder to play back recorded VHS video cassettes. You can operate the video recorder using the remote control or the buttons on the front of the video recorder.
What does VHS mean?'Video Home System' (VHS) has become the world-wide standard for the playback and recording of amateur video cassettes. This popular standard continues to be improved. Super VHS (S-VHS) provides a sharper picture and less noise. Digital VHS (D-VHS) only works with digital picture and sound signals. Your video recorder can only record and play standard VHS cassettes.
