Sony DHR-1000 - Manual (Page 30)

30 Getting Started
Presetting channels
(Skip this section if you are using
cable box / DSS receiver control.)
This VCR is capable of receiving VHF channels 2 to 13, UHF channels 14
to 69 and unscrambled CATV channels 1 to 125. First, we recommend
that you preset the receivable channels in your area using automatic
presetting. Then, if there are any unwanted channels, disable them
manually. If you have decided which channels you wish to preset, set
them directly using manual presetting.
Before you start…
• Turn on the VCR and the TV.
• Set the TV to the video channel (channel 3 or 4). If your TV is
connected to the VCR using A/V connections, set the TV to video
input.
• Press TV/VTR to display the VTR indicator in the VCR’s display
window.
• Press INPUT SELECT so that a channel number appears in the VCR’s
display window.
