SETUP
Initial Settings - VCR
By using the VCR Setup menu, you can make
various adjustments to items such as clock setting,
and timer recordings.
Your unit allows remote control adjustment of several
features.
General Operation
1. Press VCR on the Remote Control.
2. Press SETUP MENU and the MAIN menu will
appear.
FUNCTION OSD
The on-screen display can be turned on or off.
AUDIO MODE
The unit has two separate audio playback systems,
the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard
NORMAL mono system. The same audio is generally
recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system
plays on separate (left and right) channels, and the
NORMAL system plays monaural sound. The normal
track is always played so the cassette can be played
on a unit that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.
3. Use v/V to select the desired menu, then press
ENTER (OK).
4. Use v/V to choose a desired option on the select-
ed Menu. Then use b/B to choose a desired
setting.
AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)
Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE
(HI-FI/NORMAL) is in HI-FI position] for selecting the
audio output signals from the AUDIO OUT terminals
(L ch and R ch). This display setting should normally
be left in the stereo position, so that when a stereo
tape is played, the stereo sound will be heard
through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the
same mono sound will be heard from both left and
right channels.
5. Press SETUP MENU when finished.
Note:
Menus remain on-screen for 3 minutes.
CLOCK
