FINE TUNING
The FINE TUNING indicator
The FINE TUNING indicator shows the operable fine-tuning
range and stops at the optimal point of reception. When a
broadcast is received in an optimal condition, the indicator
may not be at the center position.
Cable TV systems use letters or numerals to designate the
channels. To tune-in a CATV channel, refer to the chart
below which shows the CATV channel numbers on this VCR
and the corresponding CATV channel. Note that the channel
number assignment shown in the chart may not correspond
to the channel number used by your local cable company.
Check with your local cable TV company for more
information on the available channels.

This VCR is designed to correspond to the standard cable
system. However, the cable TV services may vary from area
to area. Your local cable TV company may adopt either the
HRC 1 or IRC 2 cable system. This VCR is capable of
receiving either of these cable systems in the best condition.
1) HRC (Harmonic Related Carriers)
All channels except for 5 and 6 are 1250 kHz lower than
the standard cable system. Channels 5 and 6 are 750
kHz higher than the standard cable system.
2) IRC (Incremental Related Carriers)
All channels except for 5 and 6 are the same as the
standard cable system. Channels 5 and 6 are 2000 kHz
higher than the standard cable system.
FINE TUNING indicator for receiving HRC or IRC cable
systems
Even when the signals are received in optimal condition, the
FINE TUNING indicator will not stay at the center position for
channels higher or lower than the standard cable system
due to the difference in the frequency.
NOTE:
Many cable TV systems use scrambled or encoded
signals for certain channels, usually premium or pay-
per-view channels.
A cable box is necessary to receive scrambled
channels.
