void the user’s authority to operate it.

This VCR is equipped with a High Quality (HQ) system and is

use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs, and which are labeled

with the

mark. The use of tapes that have not been inspected

for use in two, four, six, and eight hour VCRs may result in poor

picture quality and excessive deposits on the video heads, which

may not be covered by the warranty if damage occurs.

Note to the Cable TV System Installer: This reminder is

provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to

Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code, which provides

guidelines for proper grounding – in particular, specifying that the

building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

8 Hookups With a Cable Box / Direct Broadcast System

There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the VCR. With this connection:

● You may view any channel.

● You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the VCR.

● You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.

● You may not program channels at the VCR.

● You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set the TV and the VCR to the

Cable Box/DBS output channel (channel 03 or 04), and set your Cable Box/DBS to the channel you

want to record. When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select channel 03

or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS output channel). (This is step 5 on page 31.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for

a timer recording.

34 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System

First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR

Plus+ programming system to work properly.

Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and

since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local channel infor-

mation. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel list, if applicable (you can request one from

your cable company), and 2) a chart that lists VCR Plus+ channel numbers, which you can find in your TV

guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

NO TE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel m ust be 03 or 04 (the Cable

Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel.

Automatic Operation Features 43

The following playback features will always operate.

Autom atic Playback

When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on auto-

matically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will begin.

If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automati-

cally when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.

If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the VCR will

eject the tape if the record tab is missing.

Autom atic Rewind, Eject, O ff

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the

VCR will rewind the tape, stop, eject the tape, and turn itself off.

If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind

the tape to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then

stop. The VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself

off.

Tape Eject

A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the

VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is set, a tape can

only be ejected with the power on. Make sure you insert a tape

and turn off the VCR power for the timer recording.

Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent

The VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possi-

ble picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a

better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).

Manual Tracking

To manually adjust the tracking during playback and slow motion

playback, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR. (The

CHANNEL o/p buttons on the remote control will not adjust

tracking.)

Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you

press the STOP/p button or insert a tape.

You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture.

However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the

VCR to remove vertical jitter in a Still picture.

44 Multi-Channel Television Sound System

Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound

from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your

program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural

(single-source) sound as well.

Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the

VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can’t play back tapes in

stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.

Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.

Then follow the directions on page 45 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on pages 46-

47 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Understanding O n-Screen Displays

When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below

will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.

The indication 2ND AUD or TV

STEREO that appears on this side of

the status display tells you if your

VCR is programmed to receive a sec-

ond audio or stereo broadcast (it can-

not be programmed to receive both

at the same time).

The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO

that appears on this side of the status

display tells you if the program you’re

watching is available in second audio

or stereo.

able in stereo or second audio, you still must program the VCR to

receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 45.

NOTE: Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second

audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.

To record and play back programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a Mono Speaker TV, just use one
