Getting Started (Initial Setup)
28
Press the number buttons on the remote control to set the current time - two digits for
the hour and two for the minutes. Then press 1 or 2 for AM or PM, respectively.
For example, if it is now 2:15 PM, press 0, 2, 1, and 5 for hours and minutes, and press
2 for PM.
Continue pressing buttons to set the date. For example, if today is DECEMBER 25,
1993, press 1, 2, 2, 5, 9, and 3 to get 12/25/93.
When you're done, press GUIDE twice to return to regular viewing.
Now the display on the VCR will show the correct time.
Tips:
• The item to be changed will blink on the screen as you go.
• The clock uses the 12-hour system. You set it for AM or PM.
• An illogical time (like 13 for the hour or 20 for the month) will not be accepted. A
question mark displays instead of the illogical number.
• If you press the wrong digit, exit the screen by pressing GUIDE and recall the screen
to enter the correct setup.
• The day of the week is set automatically.
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 30
minutes do you 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.
