cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the  
building, as close to the point of cable entry as possible.

14 Setting the Clock  
There are two ways to set the clock. With manual clock setting,  
you tell the VCR the current time. With automatic clock setting,  
the VCR gets the current time from your local PBS station. It  
keeps track of the time by constantly referring to the time broad-  
casted by your PBS station.  
If you are using a Cable Box or Digital Satellite System ,  
you m ust set the clock m anually.  
Follow the instructions under either manual clock setting or auto-  
matic clock setting (page 16) to set the VCR’s clock. Before you  
begin, make sure:

Press and release the MUTE button.  
Although the remote control that  
comes with your VCR will work most

4
Within 30 seconds after releasing the MUTE button, press and  
release the TV button.  
The remote control may only operate  
some features of your TV. For exam-  
ple, the remote control may turn on  
the TV power, but it may not change  
channels at the TV.  
If you can not change the channels

Although the remote control that  
comes with your VCR will work most  
Cable Boxes and Satellite Systems, it  
is possible that the remote control will  
not operate your Cable Box or  
Satellite System.  
The remote control may only operate  
some features of your Cable Box or  
Satellite System. For example, some  
Cable Boxes may only be turned on  
at the Cable Box, therefore the  
remote control will not be able to  
turn on the Cable Box.  
Press and release the MUTE button.  
4
Within 30 seconds after releasing the MUTE button, press and  
release the CBL/DSS button.  
5
Within 30 seconds after releasing the CBL/DSS button, use the  
Num ber buttons to enter the two-digit code for your Cable  
Box or Satellite System . For example, if you have a Zenith Cable  
Box, press Number buttons 1, 3.  
If you can not change the channels  
at the Cable Box by using the  
Number buttons, press the VCR  
PLUS+/ENTER button after you  
press the Number buttons. It may  
change channels at the Cable Box.  
If you had to program the remote  
control to operate your Cable Box or  
Satellite System here, whenever you  
replace the batteries in the remote  
control, you will have to program the  
remote control again.  
6
Try step 1 again. If the remote control works your Cable Box  
or Satellite System, youre finished. If the remote control still  
doesnt work your Cable Box or Satellite System, repeat steps 2 -  
5, using a different code.  
There is no guarantee that the  
rem ote control will work your  
Cable Box or Satellite System .

Box channel during timer recordings.  
You cannot set CABLE BOX CON-

40 Setting Up the VCR Plus+ Programming System  
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 VCR with your local channel infor-  
mation. 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.

Now, compare the channel numbers you have written in the VCR  
PLUS+ CH. and CABLE/TV CH. columns. Youll notice that some  
stations have VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers that are  
the same, and other stations have channel numbers that do not  
match. Where the channel numbers DO NOT match, you must  
tell the VCR the VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers  
according to the following steps.

52 Automatic Operation Features  
The following playback features will always operate:  
Autom atic Playback  
When you put a tape in the VCR, the power will come on auto-  
matically. If the tapes record tab is missing, playback will begin.  
If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on automati-  
cally when you insert a tape with the record tab intact.  
If a timer recording is set and the VCR power is off, the 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  
VCR will rewind the tape, stop, eject the tape, then turn itself off.  
If the real time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind  
to the point at which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The  
VCR will not eject the tape automatically or shut itself off.  
Mem ory Rewind, Power O ff  
When the POWER button is pressed while the VCR is rewinding  
a tape, the VCR will turn itself off when it has finished rewinding.  
REWIND POWER OFF will appear on-screen.  
If a real time counter memory is set, the VCR may only rewind  
the tape to the point at which the real time counter was set to  
zero, then stop and turn itself off.  
Tape Eject  
A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the  
VCR must be plugged in). If a Timer Recording is programmed, a  
tape can only be ejected with the power on. Make sure you insert  
a tape and turn off the VCR power for the Timer Recording.

Automatic Operation Features (contd) 53  
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent  
The VCR continually adjusts tracking automatically 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 TRACKING (Up/Down)  
buttons on the rem ote control.  
NOTES:  
The CHANNEL (Up/Down) buttons on the VCR adjust tracking dur-  
ing playback. This function is controlled only by the CHANNEL  
(Up/Down) buttons on the VCR. The CH(annel) Up/Down buttons  
on the remote control will not adjust tracking.  
To return tracking to the position it was in when the VCR was  
shipped from the factory, press the CHANNEL (Up) and CHANNEL  
(Down) buttons on the VCR at the same time.  
Tracking is returned to auto tracking when a tape is inserted, or  
when the STOP button is pressed to halt playback.  
• When the VCR is in Slow mode, auto tracking will not work. Instead,  
use the TRACKING (Up/Down) buttons on the remote control or  
the CHANNEL Up/Down buttons on the VCR to reduce noise lines  
in slow motion playback.  
• Manual tracking will not operate when the VCR is in Still mode. If  
you want to reduce noise lines in a still picture, place the VCR in Slow  
mode. Use the TRACKING (Up/Down) buttons on the remote con-  
trol or the CHANNEL Up/Down buttons on the VCR to remove the  
noise lines. Then return to Still mode.

54 MTS Broadcast Stereo System  
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound  
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your  
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural  
(single-source) sound as well.  
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the  
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that cant play back tapes in  
stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.  
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.  
Follow the directions on page 55 to record in stereo or second audio, or follow the directions on pages 56  
- 57 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.  
Understanding O n-Screen Displays  
When you receive a signal from a channel youre watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below  
will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.  
The indication 2ND AUD or TV  
STEREO that appears on this side of  
the status display tells you if your  
VCR is programmed to receive a sec-  
ond audio or stereo broadcast (it can-  
not be programmed to receive both  
at the same time).  
The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO  
that appears on this side of the status  
display tells you if the program you’re  
watching is available in second audio  
or stereo.

Make sure the power is turned on.  
Power Failure  
Timer recordings and the clock setting may be lost if the power fails for more than one hour. See pages  
14 - 17 to reset your clock. See pages 34 - 43 to reprogram your timer recordings.  
A TV program cannot be recorded.  
Check the connections between the VCR, TV, antenna/cable, and Cable Box/Digital Satellite System (if  
applicable) (pages six - 10).  
Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).  
Check the TV/VCR position (page 28).  
Check the CH3/CH4 switch (pages six - nine).  
The VCR will not perform a tim er recording.  
Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 34 - 43).  
Make sure a tape is in the VCR and the tape has a record tab (page five). If, after programming a timer  
recording, you turn off the VCR power without putting a tape in the VCR, the Timer light will blink.  
If the record tab on a tape is missing, the VCR will eject the tape. The Timer light will blink.  
Make sure the VCR power is off.  
Make sure the clock is set (pages 14 - 17).  
The VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if a power interruption of more than one hour  
occurs during the timer recording, even if the power comes back on afterward.  
If you have a Cable Box/DSS Receiver, timer recordings are programmed differently. Details are on page  
eight.  
It is best to finish programming a timer recording at least five minutes before the recording is scheduled  
to begin.  
12 PM is noon; 12 AM is midnight.  
There is no playback picture or the playback picture is noisy or contains streaks.  
Make sure the TV and the Cable Box/DSS Receiver, if applicable, are on the same channel as the VCR’s

Poor reception  
You may need to tune your TV again.  
The m otor (cylinder) rotates even when the VCR is in Stop m ode.  
To enable the quick play mechanism, the cylinder will rotate for about five minutes. This is normal.  
Satellite Hookups  
Watching one TV channel while recording another may not be possible if you have a satellite hookup.  
You may have to set your TV to channel 3 or 4, then make your channel selections at the satellite con-  
verter box.  
With many satellite hookups, if you use accessory audio and video cables to connect your VCR to your  
TV, you will have to put your VCR in Line Input mode. To enter Line Input mode, press 0, 0, 1 or 0, 0, 2  
on the VCR’s remote control. AV REAR or AV FRONT will appear on your TV screen briefly.  
Line Input m ode  
If you accidentally enter Line Input mode (AV FRONT or AV REAR will appear on your TV screen  
briefly), press the CH(annel) Up/Down buttons or use the Number buttons to select another channel.  
Daylight-Saving Tim e  
When automatic Daylight-Saving Time is set, the clock time will change automatically as follows: on the  
first Sunday in April, from 2 AM to 3 AM; on the last Sunday in October, from 2 AM to 1 AM.  
During the April time change, a timer recording programmed to start between 2 AM and 3 AM will not  
record. A timer recording programmed to end between 2 AM and 3 AM will end when the clock moves  
forward (2 AM).  
During the October time change, a recording cannot be started between the second 1 AM and 1:59 AM.  
Hi-Fi Stereo Sound  
• During playback, Hi-Fi audio may temporarily revert to normal audio when you adjust tracking. This is  
normal.  
When connecting the VCR to a stereo TV, you will only get stereo sound if you use audio cables to con-  
nect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line  
(Auxiliary) Input mode.  
When you connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV, the stereo  
light on the TV might not glow. But, as long as the status display indicates you are receiving a stereo sig-  
nal, you are receiving a stereo signal. This is normal.  
• If Hi-Fi audio continually reverts to normal audio during playback, you may want to change AUDIO OUT  
to MONO at step 4 on page 56.  
Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will play back in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes recorded in normal audio will  
play back in monaural audio.
