INITIAL SET UP FOR USE
SETTING THE CH3/CH4
SWITCH
If your TV does not have A/V terminals:
When the VCR is in the Playback mode or when the
VCR is in the VCR position, your TV will receive sig-
nals from the VCR on either channel 3 or 4.
To use the VCR with your TV, set the selector switch to
CH3 or CH4 (which is located
in the back of your VCR),
whichever is not used for nor-
mal broadcasts in your area.
Then set your TV to the same
channel.
AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SET UP
You can automatically program the tuner to scan only
the channels you receive in your area.
● Channel memory programming is NOT needed
when you connected the VCR to a cable box or
satellite box as in "Basic connections" on page 6. In
this case, select the VCR and TV to channel 3 or 4
the same channel as the CH3 or CH4 switch on the
back of the VCR. Then, the channel you want to re-
cord or view may be selected at the cable box or sat-
ellite box.
● Follow the steps below once. Repeat it only if there
is a power failure or if the VCR is unplugged for more
than 30 seconds. (In these cases, the programmed
channels are erased.)
● You must follow the steps below before attempting
to play or record a video tape. If you want to play or
record a video tape BEFORE programming the tuner,
you can cancel it by pressing the RESET/EXIT but-
ton. To program the tuner again, see "CHANNEL
SET UP AGAIN" on the next page.
