More About Channel Selections
Your VCR is capable of receiving 68 broadcast TV channels (VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69) and 125 cable
channels (CATV 1-125).
When you press 2 on the Initial Setup screen, the tuner automatically cycles through all available
channels in your area and places them in memory. This takes 2-3 minutes. You can watch the progress
on the VCR's display - when the channel numbers stop changing, programming is complete. Only when
the power goes out for more than 1 hour you do need to preset the channels again.
In some areas channels cannot be switched when CATV1 is selected. Then, select CATV2 in your
Initial Setup screen.
For convenience, the TV channel numbers should match those programmed into the VCR. If your TV
has automatic channel programming, set it on the same mode - ANT, CATV1 or CATV2 - and let it
reprogram to match the VCR.
Once channels are preset, you can use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to move through the active
channels. Or you can press the number buttons to move quickly between channels that are far apart.
Removing Channels
You may not want to keep all the stations the auto-programmer selects, since you may prefer to have
only a few favorite channels in the tuner's memory. Or, you may want to delete from memory a weak or
unused channel that the tuner picked up.
Erased channels cannot be selected by the up and down CHANNEL buttons but can still be selected by
using the numbered buttons 0 to 9 and 100/ENT.
Adding Channels
Occasionally the auto-programming may skip an active channel because the antenna was pointed in the
wrong direction or the channel had a weak signal or was "off the air" at the time of programming. Or you
may change your mind about a channel you removed from memory.
To Add or Erase Channels
Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the Initial Setup screen. Item 8 lets you add or delete channels.
Use the number buttons to enter the channel you want to change, then press STOP to delete it or press
PLAY to add it.
