low the steps on page 19 to have the TV/VCR maintain the clock
according to your Time Zone.
To set the clock manually, follow the steps on pages 12 -13. To
set the clock using Automatic PBS Channel Selection, follow the

Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System 39
1
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 TV/VCR with your local channel
information. To fill in the boxes, you will need 1) a cable channel line-up 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 53
The following playback features will always operate.
Autom atic Playback
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on
automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will
begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on
automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If
a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the TV/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
TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the
tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR will only
rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to
zero, then stop. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the
tape.
Mem ory Rewind, Power O ff
When the POWER button is pressed while the TV/VCR is rewind-
ing a tape, REW → POWER OFF will appear on-screen. The
TV/VCR will turn itself off when the tape has finished rewinding.
If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only
rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to
zero, then turn itself off.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the
TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed,
a tape can not be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the
TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and
turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking to give you the
best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however,
you may get a better picture using the manual tracking controls
(see below).
Manual Tracking
To adjust the tracking manually during tape playback, press the
CHANNEL o/p buttons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING
o/p buttons on the remote control.
Tracking returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when a tape
is inserted or when the STOP/p button is pressed.

MTS Broadcast Stereo System 55
Your TV/VCR can receive a program broadcast in stereo or with second audio (usually, that means a pro-
gram is broadcast with a second language).
When the second audio is available, you can select either the main audio (Mono) or the second audio. But
your TV/VCR can record only the sound you select. Select a sound by following the steps on page 56.
NOTE: When a program is broadcast in stereo, the TV/VCR can record only in monaural (single-source) sound,
regardless of your selection.
When you play back a tape, you will hear only the sound recorded on a tape, regardless of your sound
selection.
Read the information on this page to familiarize yourself with your TV/VCR’s stereo and second audio
setups. Then, follow the directions on page 56 to receive a program broadcast in stereo or second audio.

Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom
of the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.
• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.
Electrical Shock And Fire Hazards
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting the TV/VCR from the AC (alternating current) wall
outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
• If water is spilled on the TV/VCR, unplug the power cord immediately and take the TV/VCR to an
authorized service center.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.
• Do not place anything on top of the TV/VCR.
Dew W arning (Moisture Condensation)
• Moisture may condense inside the unit when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, after heat-
ing a cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in
your TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and
the TV/VCR could be damaged. If you think moisture may have accumulated inside the TV/VCR, keep
the TV/VCR power on (but do not play a tape) for at least two hours. This will allow the TV/VCR to
dry.
TV/VCR will not perform a tim er recording.
• Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 35 - 38). Midnight is 12 a.m.
Noon is 12 p.m.
• Make sure the TV/VCR power is off.
• Make sure the clock is set (pages 12 - 17).
• Make sure there is a tape in the TV/VCR. The tape must have a record tab.
• If the power fails, programmed timer recordings will be restored when the clock is reset. (The clock
will reset itself automatically if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14 - 17.
If you are not using the AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12 -
13.) The timer recording will not occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during
the power failure.
• Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF (page 43).
TV/VCR will not record.
• Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).
• Make sure DEFEAT RECORDING is set to OFF (page 43).
• Plug the power cord into an active AC outlet (page seven).
• Check your hookups (pages six - seven).
• Set up the channels (page 10).
