ACCESSORIES
Be sure to remove these items before you

up, you might need additional cables or adapt-
ers. Read “Installation” on Page 8 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.
Setup — includes procedures for preparing
and using the remote control, setting the on-
screen programming language, setting the
channels your VCR can tune, and setting the
clock.
Basic Operation — explains how to watch TV
using the TV’s or VCR’s tuner, select channels
using the VCR’s tuner, and load and play a vid-
eo tape.
Special Functions — describes what appears
on the VCR’s display and the TV screen and
how to fast-forward and rewind a tape, use the
VCR’s special playback, display, and search
features, set the tracking manually, improve
playback of worn or damaged video tapes, and
use skip search.
Recording — describes the different methods
for recording.
Additional Information — includes a trouble-
shooting section, care and maintenance proce-
dures, and the VCR’s specifications.
We recommend that you read through at least
“Installation” on Page 8 and “VCR Setup” on
Page 13 thoroughly, 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 these
buttons to operate the same functions.
Other 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
only refers to the remote control’s labels.
But, unless otherwise noted, 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 on the remote control, then
repeat that step and all steps that follow.
