IMPORTANT PRODUCT

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But

improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire

hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured

to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in

safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation,

use and servicing.

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.

To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it

from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or

covered.

• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed,

sofa, rug or other similar surface.

• Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the

manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

ATTENTION:

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your

product and its operating instructions. For your safety, please

read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate

this product and keep this booklet for future reference.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as

to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding

electrode.

INSTALLATION

1. Grounding or Polarization

(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the

other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.

This is a safety feature.

If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type

plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety

feature.

2. Lightning

For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,

or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna

or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to

lightning and power-line surges.

If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact

your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not

defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

3. Power Lines

2. Power Sources

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity

of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,

or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as

contact with them might be fatal.

Operate your product only from the type of power source

indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or

local power company. If your product is intended to operate

from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70

3. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

ANTENNA

LEAD IN WIRE

4. Power Cord Protection

GROUND CLAMP

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely

to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against

them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

● The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display

the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3-

CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to

CH3 or CH4.

Make sure the package contains all of the accessories

● The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position.

Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and

set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3–

CH4 switch setting.

● If RF connection to TV is used, when switching from VCR to TV

mode and from TV to VCR it may be necessary to issue a CH UP

and then CH DOWN on TV to obtain a good quality picture.

● Even if you are using AV cables to connect your VCR to your

TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will

ensure that you can record one show while watching another

(੬ pg. 26).

SITUATE VCR

Place the VCR on a stable, horizontal surface.

INITIAL SETTINGS

The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels

automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The

antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.

Plug & Play

The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting

data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast

channels. We call this TV channel the “Host Channel” and it is

a PBS channel in your area.

Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set

PLUG & PLAY SETUP

connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not

power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will

be set automatically.

ATTENTION

If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set

the clock and tuner channels manually. (੬ pg.11 – 15)

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (੬ pg. 6). Then

NOTES:

● Auto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set

function scans all the channels received by your VCR

to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.

"Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto

clock set.

● Auto channel set is performed next. The auto channel

set function scans all the channels that are receivable

by your VCR. It then automatically assigns each

receivable channels to the CH ∞ (+/–) buttons. It

skips non-receivable channels. During auto channel

set the channel numbers are displayed as they are

scanned and set.

● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the

correct time is displayed.

● If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display

panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on

next page.

IMPORTANT

● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while

Plug & Play is in progress.

● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to

perform the Clock (੬ pg. 11) and Tuner (੬ pg. 14)

procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete

channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 15.

During Initial Auto Clock Set

"Auto" blinks.

During Auto Channel Set

The channel numbers are displayed

as they are scanned and set.

Plug & Play Completed

The current time (including

AM/PM) is displayed.

* If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on next page.

INFORMATION

● If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 12, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host

channel every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock

setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be

adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of "AUTO

CLOCK" is "ON".

● If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be

performed when power is restored to the VCR.

What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed

● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from

an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-Auto (੬ pg. 12) or

Manual Clock Set (੬ pg. 13) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.

● If “- -:- -” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal

available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then power on and power off the VCR; the Plug &

Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not

performed but the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 13). Auto channel

set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (੬ pg. 14).

is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel Set " for each

station. Please read the following information carefully.

Turn on the TV and select the VCR channel 3 or 4 (or AV

mode).

VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching

The VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide

Channel" to broadcast and cable TV channels. These Guide

Channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ Channel Codes.

Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the

"Guide Channel" numbers assigned to each station. For accurate

VCR Plus+ programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number

for each station should match the channel number on which it is

received in your area.

NOTES:

● In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for

cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel

number on which it is received by your VCR. Check your TV

listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

● Many broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check

your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

Auto SP EP Timer

Auto Timer

If, when recording in SP mode, there is not enough tape to record

the entire program, the VCR automatically switches to EP mode

to allow complete recording. This feature is especially handy

when recording a program of more than 2 hours in length.

When the Auto Timer is set to “ON” the timer is automatically

engaged when the VCR's power is turned off. It is automatically

disengaged when the VCR is powered back on.

NOTES:

● If you have programmed the VCR to timer-record 2 or more

set the tape speed manually during timer programming.

● In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this feature

may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of the tape.

● There may be some noise at the point on the tape where the

VCR switches from SP to EP mode.

● The Auto SP→EP Timer feature is not available during ITR

(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will work with the

following tapes: T(ST)-30, T(ST)-60, T(ST)-90, and T(ST)-120.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

RECORDING

Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached

during playback or search?

Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end

of the recording before the pause is overlapped by

the new recording. Why does this happen?

A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and

resume points.

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?

A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect

the heads.

Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause

mode?

A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode

after 5 minutes to protect the heads. When paused

during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts

off automatically after 5 minutes.

Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame

playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the

problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?

Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,

the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?

A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are

attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing

PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the

picture.

A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.

TIMER RECORDING

Q. REC and ‰ remain lit on the front display panel. Is

there a problem?

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording

in progress.

Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal

playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be

concerned about this?

Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape

or a TV broadcast?

A. No, it is normal.

A. Yes, but while you are setting the timer you won't see

the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is

replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the

tape or broadcast program will be present during the

setting of the timer.

Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s

the problem?

A. This is normal.

Q. When playing back programs that have been timer-

recorded with consecutive times (such one program

from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to

10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily

distorted at the point where the first program ends

and the second program begins. Is this a

malfunction?

A. No. This is normal.

Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect

does removing the safety tab have?

A. It disables marking of index codes.

Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find

the program I want to see. Why not?

A. There may be index codes too close together.

Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators

sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?

A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not

good, jittering of the video (including on-screen

indicators) may occur.
