FINAL PREPARATION FOR

USE

N O TES:

● 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.

Power on the VCR and select the VCR channel (3 or 4)

by setting the switch on the rear of the VCR as shown in

the illustration.

● 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.

You can now perform simple playback (੬ pg. 21) or

simple recording (੬ pg. 22).

● 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. 37).

● For full identification of the VCR's rear panel, refer to the

Index (REAR VIEW ੬ pg. 63).

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.

Plu g & Pla y

Auto Clock Set/ Auto Tuner Set

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.

PLUG & PLAY SETUP

Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (੬ pg. 4). Then

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

power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will

automatically be set.

● 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.

IMPORTANT

● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the

correct time is displayed.

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

Plug & Play is in progress.

● If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET"

is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on

page 8, the clock will be adjusted automatically by

the Host PBS 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 is "AUTO CLOCK SET".

● 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. 8) or Manual

Clock Set (੬ pg. 9) 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, there may not be a

Host PBS signal available in your area, or your cable

box may not be set to the PBS channel. Ensure that the

antenna cable is connected correctly. If you use a cable

box ensure that your local PBS channel is selected on

your cable box (੬ ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUB-

SCRIBERS). 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 everything is con-

nected and set correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set

procedure (੬ pg. 9). Auto channel set has not yet taken

place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable

Channels” procedure (੬ pg. 10).

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

perform the Clock (੬ pg. 7) and Tuner (੬ pg. 10)

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

channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 12.

ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS

If you perform the Plug & Play procedure . . .

● Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging

your VCR’s power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have

more than one PBS channel, you may have to select an

alternative PBS channel if Plug & Play is not successful.)

● If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the

Manual Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 9).

● For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's

power must be off and the cable box must be set to the

PBS channel at clock adjustment times.

● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, D.S.T. will be set

to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (੬ pg. 9),

your VCR's power must be off and your cable box must

be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the D.S.T.

adjustment to take place. If the clock is not set correctly,

change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See step 9 of

Semi-Auto procedure (੬ pg. 8) or step 6 of Manual

procedure (੬ pg. 9).

N O TE:

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.

This procedure is required if you receive your TV channels

through a cable box (descrambler). The Controller allows the

VCR to automatically switch the cable box channel during

timer-recording. The Controller is effective for recording shows

that have been programmed using G-CODE (੬ pg. 40) or On-

Screen Timer Programming (੬ pg. 42).

pointed towards the cable box’s remote sensor.

SITUATE CONTROLLER

Place the Controller so that the path between its

transmitter and the cable box’s remote sensor is

Atte n tio n :

unobstructed.

The Controller can also control a DBS receiver. If both a cable

box and a DBS receiver are used, position the controller so its

signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the cable box

and DBS receiver.

ATTACH CONTROLLER

Fasten securely using the supplied adhesive strips.

with your cable box.

● If your cable box doesn’t respond to any code between 1 and 69,

you can’t use the Controller to change cable box channels. In this

case, make sure to leave the cable box turned on and tuned to the

proper channel before the scheduled start of timer recording.

Please contact your cable company about the possibility of

exchanging your current cable box with one that is compat-

ible with your VCR.

● The VCR can only change the cable box channel through the

Controller during timer recording.

● If your cable box is one that can’t be operated with a remote

control (because it has no remote sensor), you can’t use the

Controller to change its channels. Make sure to leave the

cable box turned on and tuned to the proper channel before

the scheduled start of timer recording.

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

The G-CODE timer programming system eliminates the need to

input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the

timer record function. Simply key in the G-CODE number for the

TV program you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and

the VCR’s timer is automatically programmed.

G-CO DE Se tu p

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

mode).

Depending on the TV or cable stations that you receive and the

channel numbers that they are received on in your area, you may

have to make certain changes in your VCR’s “Guide Channel Set”

menu to get proper results. Please read the following information

carefully to find out which tasks you need to perform.

Before G-CODE setup you must have performed the following

procedures:

● Plug & Play (੬ pg. 5)

● Clock setting (੬ pg. 7) and Tuner setting (੬ pg. 10)

● Cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through a

cable box (੬ pg. 13)

Channel Number Matching

Most TV listings have a chart indicating the “Guide Channel”

number assigned to each station for purposes of G-CODE

programming. Check the chart in your TV listings and see if the

Guide Channel numbers listed for the stations you receive are

the same as the channel number on which each is received by

your VCR or cable box.

**SPECIAL NOTES FOR CABLE SUBSCRIBERS**

● In many instances, cable TV stations have G-CODE Guide

Channel numbers that DO NOT match the number of the

channel on which you receive the station. Check your TV

listings, or contact your cable supplier for details.

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

Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for

details.

POWER

If the numbers match, go directly to “G-CODE Timer

Programming” (੬ pg. 40).

NUMBER

If the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timer

record programs from those stations, you have to inform the

VCR of the mismatch. Go to step 1. If you will not want to timer

record from those stations, you can go directly to “G-CODE

Timer Programming” (੬ pg. 40).

INITIAL SETTINGS (cont.)

The following procedure is required if you receive DBS channels

through a DBS (Direct Broadcast DBS) Receiver. The Controller

allows the VCR to automatically switch the DBS Receiver's channels

during timer recording.

DBS Re ce ive r

Co n tro l

The VCR can control the DBS Receiver during timer recording

using its Controller.

N O TES:

Suggested Location

● The Controller can automatically change the DBS Receiver

channels when the VCR has been programmed using On-

Screen Timer Programming (੬ pg. 42).

Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast DBS) receiver on top of the

VCR. Attach the VCR's Controller to the top of the VCR with the

Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the DBS receiver's

remote sensor.

Because DBS programming does not use G-CODE; the

Controller can not change the DBS Receiver channels during

G-CODE Timer Recording.

● If a cable box is also used it is recommended that you

connect the DBS receiver to your VCR's A/V inputs and the

cable box to your VCR's antenna input.

Atte n tio n :

The Controller can also control a cable box. If both a DBS

receiver and a cable box are used, position the controller so its

signal reaches the remote control sensors of both the DBS

receiver and cable box.

Situa te And Connect Controller

DBS receiver

SITUATE CONTROLLER

Place the Controller so that the path between its

transmitter and the DBS receiver's remote sensor is

unobstructed.

About Your DBS Receiver

CONNECT CONTROLLER

This VCR has two separate methods to control your DBS Receiver.

● The VCR's Wireless Remote Control Unit can control your

DBS Receiver.

This eliminates the need for a separate DBS Receiver Remote

Control Unit.

● The VCR's Controller can also control your DBS Receiver.

This allows the VCR to change your DBS receiver's channel

number during timer recording.

TO VCR

Connect to the CABLE BOX connector on your VCR.

Each method must be set up separately. To set up the VCR's

Remote Control unit, refer to page 55. To set up the Controller

go to page 19.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

PLAYBACK

RECORDING

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

during playback or search?

A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.

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.

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, 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.

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

A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.

Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal

playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be

concerned about this?

TIMER RECORDING

Q. REC and TIMER remain lit on the front display panel.

Is there a problem?

A. No, it is normal.

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

in progress.

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

or a TV broadcast?

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. 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.
