IMPORTANT PRODUCT  
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. But  
improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire  
hazards. This product has been engineered and manufactured  
to assure your personal safety. In order not to defeat the built-in  
safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation,  
use and servicing.  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.  
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it  
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or  
covered.  
• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed,  
sofa, rug or other similar surface.  
• Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a  
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the  
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.  
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as  
recommended by the manufacturer.  
ATTENTION:  
Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your

ANTENNA INSTALLATION  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the  
product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as  
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up  
static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of  
the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding  
connectors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to  
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding  
electrode.  
INSTALLATION  
1. Grounding or Polarization  
(A) Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-  
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the  
other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.  
This is a safety feature.  
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact  
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not  
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
(B) Your product may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type  
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will  
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety  
feature.  
2. Lightning  
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,  
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of  
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna  
or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to  
lightning and power-line surges.  
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact  
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not  
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.  
3. Power Lines  
2. Power Sources  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity  
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,  
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When  
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be  
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as  
contact with them might be fatal.  
Operate your product only from the type of power source  
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of  
power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or  
local power company. If your product is intended to operate  
from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating  
instructions.  
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER  
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70  
3. Overloading  
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral  
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or  
electric shock.  
ANTENNA  
LEAD IN WIRE  
4. Power Cord Protection  
GROUND CLAMP  
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely  
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against  
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

INITIAL SETTINGS  
8
EN  
The Plug & Play function sets the clock and tuner channels  
automatically when power is first connected to the VCR. The  
antenna cable must be connected for the Plug & Play function.  
Plug & Play  
The time and date can be set automatically from clock setting  
data that is transmitted by one of the regular TV broadcast  
channels. We call this TV channel the “Host Channel” and it is  
a PBS channel in your area.  
Auto Clock Set/Auto Tuner Set  
PLUG & PLAY SETUP  
connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not  
power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will  
be set automatically.  
ATTENTION  
Connect the antenna cable to the VCR (੬ pg. 6). Then  
If you use a cable box, Plug & Play will not function; set  
the clock and tuner channels manually. (੬ pg.10 – 14)  
1
NOTES:  
● Auto clock set is performed first. The auto clock set  
function scans all the channels received by your VCR  
to find the Host Channel and then sets the clock.  
"Auto" blinks on the front display panel during Auto  
clock set.  
● Auto channel set is performed next. The auto channel  
set function scans all the channels that are receivable  
by your VCR. It then automatically assigns each  
5
receivable channels to the CH  
(+/–) buttons. It  
∞
skips non-receivable channels. During auto channel  
set the channel numbers are displayed as they are  
scanned and set.  
IMPORTANT  
● Don’t press any buttons on the VCR or remote while  
Plug & Play is in progress.  
● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to  
perform the Clock (੬ pg. 10) and Tuner (੬ pg. 13)  
procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete  
channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.  
● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the  
correct time is displayed.  
● If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display  
panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed"  
below.  
During Initial Auto Clock Set  
"Auto" blinks.  
During Auto Channel Set  
The channel numbers are displayed  
as they are scanned and set.  
Plug & Play Completed  
The current time (including  
AM/PM) is displayed.  
* If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" below.  
INFORMATION  
● If "AUTO CLOCK" is set to "ON" at the Clock Set screen on page 11, the clock will be adjusted automatically by the host  
channel every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock  
setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR’s power is turned off. The clock will be  
adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual real time.) The default setting of "AUTO  
CLOCK" is "ON".  
● If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will be  
performed when power is restored to the VCR.  
What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed  
● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from  
an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-Auto (੬ pg. 11) or  
Manual Clock Set (੬ pg. 12) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.  
● If “- -:- -” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR or there may not be a Host PBS signal  
available in your area. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Then power on and power off the VCR; the Plug &  
Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will be displayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not  
performed but the antenna cable is connected correctly, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 12). Auto channel  
set has not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set Receivable Channels” procedure (੬ pg. 13).

connect the DBS receiver to your VCR's A/V inputs and the  
cable box to your VCR's antenna input.  
Place the DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) receiver on top of the  
VCR. Attach the VCR's Controller to the top of the VCR with the  
Controller’s transmitter pointed towards the DBS receiver's

QUASI PLAYBACK) function. However, there may be  
cases where S-VHS ET playback is not possible on a  
particular VCR.  
● Frequent still, frame-by-frame and slow-motion playback  
may damage the tape and cause picture degradation.  
● With some tapes, better picture quality may not be  
obtained even with S-VHS ET recording. It is recom-  
mended that you do test record beforehand to make sure  
whether better results can be obtained.

IMPORTANT  
If you have moved to a different area or if a broadcasting  
station's channel number has been changed, the wrong VCR  
or CABLE CH number will be displayed on the VCR Plus+  
program screen (੬ step 5 on page 41). When this happens,  
perform the following steps to set the correct the Guide  
Channel number for that station.  
Changing VCR  
Plus+® Setting  
Turn on the TV and select the AV mode.  
To ensure that the VCR Plus+Timer Recording operates correctly  
it is necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel Set " for  
each station. Please read the following information carefully.  
VCR Plus+ Guide Channel Matching  
VCR Plus+ programming system assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide  
Channel" to broadcast and cable TV channels. These Guide  
Channel numbers are also called the VCR Plus+ Channel Codes.  
Most TV listings have a section, usually a chart, indicating the  
"Guide Channel" numbers assigned to each station. For accurate  
VCR Plus+ programming the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number  
for each station should match the channel number on which it is  
received in your area.  
CH  
NOTES:  
● In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for  
cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channel  
number on which it is received by your VCR or cable box.  
Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for  
details.  
● Many broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Check  
your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.

Advantages Of S-VHS Editing  
S VIDEO IN  
AUDIO IN  
S-VHS allows you make high resolution video recordings  
when dubbing from one VCR to another.  
You can edit from VHS to S-VHS, from S-VHS to VHS, or  
from S-VHS to S-VHS.  
● From VHS to S-VHS: Record VHS playback signals in the S-  
VHS mode. Although the picture quality is inherently  
limited by the orignal VHS source material, the edited tape  
has better picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS  
editing.  
● From S-VHS to VHS: Because the picture quality of the  
source material is very high, the edited tape has better  
picture quality than those made by VHS-to-VHS editing.  
● From S-VHS to S-VHS: A high resolution copy is made of  
a high resolution original S-VHS tape with minimal  
picture degradation. This is the preferred method of  
video dubbing.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
EN  
73  
PLAYBACK  
RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end  
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by  
the new recording. Why does this happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and  
resume points.  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes (VHS deck)  
or 3 minutes (DV deck) to protect the heads.  
Q. Can the VCR indefinitely remain in the Record-Pause  
mode?  
A. No. The VCR automatically goes to its Stop mode  
after 5 minutes (VHS deck) or 3 minutes (DV deck) to  
protect the heads. When paused during Instant Timer  
Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts off automatically after  
5 minutes (VHS deck) or 3 minutes (DV deck).  
Q. During search, still and frame-by-frame playback,  
the picture is intermittent. What’s the cause?  
A. Picture loss occurs when these types of playback are  
attempted with a tape recorded in LP mode. Pressing  
PLAY to return to normal playback will restore the  
picture.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
TIMER RECORDING  
Q. REC and ‰ remain lit on the front display panel. Is  
there a problem?  
A. No, it is normal.  
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording  
in progress.  
Q. When playing back programs that have been timer-  
recorded with consecutive times (such one program  
from 8:00 to 9:00 and another one from 9:00 to  
10:00), the picture and sound become momentarily  
distorted at the point where the first program ends  
and the second program begins. Is this a  
malfunction?  
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape  
or a TV broadcast?  
A. Yes, but while you are setting the timer you won't see  
the tape's or broadcast program's picture as it is  
replaced by the on-screen menu. The audio from the  
tape or broadcast program will be present during the  
setting of the timer.  
A. No. This is normal.  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the VCR can’t find  
the program I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.  
Q. During playback, on-screen operational indicators  
sometimes jitter. Why does this happen?  
A. If the condition of the tape being played back is not  
good, jittering of the video (including on-screen  
indicators) may occur.
