SETTING THE ON-SCREEN
LANGUAGE/CHANNELS/
CLOCK
The first time you turn on the TV/VCR, the
SELECT LANGUAGE screen automatically ap-
pears. You can set the TV/VCR to display on-
screen menus in English or in Spanish. After
you select a language, the TV/VCR automatical-
ly scans through the channels and stores all ac-
tive channels in your area. Then the TV/VCR
automatically sets the clock if a broadcast sta-
tion with an EDS signal is available in your area.
Notes:
• Make sure you have connected the TV/
VCR to your cable system or an antenna
before continuing (see “Connecting an Out-
door Antenna” or “Connecting to a Cable
System” on Page 9).
• The on-screen language defaults to
English.
• EDS is a service provided by some broad-
casters such as PBS to transmit various
types of information, including the current
time. If no broadcaster in your area trans-
mits EDS signals, you must set the clock
manually after the TV/VCR finishes looking
for an EDS signal. If you want to use timer
recording immediately, you can stop the
TV/VCR from looking for an EDS signal by
setting the clock manually. See “Setting the
Clock Manually” on Page 15.
• The TV/VCR might not store active chan-
nels and automatically set the clock if the
signal the TV/VCR receives from your
antenna is weak.
