ranty if damage occurs.

12 Setting the Clock
There are three ways to set the clock: Manually, with Automatic
PBS Channel Selection, or with Manual PBS Channel Selection.

PBS Channel Selection or Automatic PBS Channel Selection, fol-
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 TV/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, press the CHANNEL o/p but-
tons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING o/p buttons on the
remote control.

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.

• 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 RECORD DEFEAT is set to OFF (page 43).
