Getting Started (Initial Setup)
Setup for First-Time Operation
Before you use your VCR to watch or record from your TV, you need to "tell" the VCR whether your TV
uses cable or antenna input and let it program itself to receive your TV's channels. It's also a good idea
to set the clock so you can do timed recording later. With your TV and VCR hooked up, turn them both
on and follow these steps using the remote control.
Initial Setup Options
Press GUIDE twice, then press 1 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.

*TO END PRESS GUIDE
At the right of the screen are the default settings on your VCR. The default settings are the ones that are
preset at the factory. They come up on the VCR every time the power goes out for more than 5 seconds
- for example, during a storm or when you unplug the VCR.
Look at each item to see if it matches your own setup:
To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item. This will cycle you
through several options.
When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE again to back out of the Easy Guide System.
You need to set items 1 and 2 the first time you set up your VCR and any time you have a lengthy power
outage. The rest of the items can be set later as needed.
