or replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform
this service.

38 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 TV/VCR with your local channel
information. 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.
NO TE: If you are using a Cable Box/DBS, the Cable/TV channel m ust be 03 or 04 (the Cable
Box/DBS output channel) for every VCR Plus+ channel.

Now, compare the channel numbers you have written in the VCR
PLUS+ CH. and CABLE/TV CH. columns. You’ll 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 TV/VCR the VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers
according to the following steps.

54 Closed Caption
When you watch a program that is being broadcast with closed
captions, you can access on-screen boxes containing the pro-
gram’s dialogue (for example, what a character is saying), dialogue
in a foreign language, or information (such as a channel guide,
schedule, or announcements). Follow the steps below to select
closed captions.
Not all TV programs and commercials are broadcast with closed
captions. Similarly, all types of closed captions (second language,
half-screen text, etc.) are not always broadcast. If closed caption-
ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate
a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your area’s TV program
listings for the shows offered with closed captions.

Automatic Operation Features 57
The following playback features will always operate.
Autom atic Playback
When you put a tape in the TV/VCR, the power will come on
automatically. If the tape’s record tab is missing, playback will
begin. If a timer recording is set, the power will not come on
automatically when you insert a tape with the record tab intact. If
a timer recording is set and the TV/VCR power is off, the
TV/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
TV/VCR will rewind the tape, stop, turn itself off, and eject the
tape. If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only
rewind the tape to the point at which the real-time counter is set
to zero. The TV/VCR will not turn itself off or eject the tape.
Mem ory Rewind, Power O ff
When the POWER button is pressed while the TV/VCR is rewind-
ing a tape, REW → POWER OFF will appear on the screen. The
TV/VCR will turn itself off when the tape has finished rewinding.
If a real-time counter memory is set, the TV/VCR may only
rewind the tape to the point at which the counter was set to
zero, then turn itself off.
Tape Eject
A tape can be ejected with the TV/VCR power on or off (but the
TV/VCR must be plugged in). If a timer recording is programmed,
a tape can not be ejected when the power is off. Turn on the
TV/VCR power, then eject the tape. Be sure to insert a tape and
turn off the TV/VCR power for the timer recording.
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent
The TV/VCR automatically adjusts the tracking 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).

If you are having problems with your product, check this list of problems and possible solutions before
requesting service. You may be able to solve the problem yourself.
If you need to call a customer service representative, please know the model number and serial number of
your product before you call. This information is displayed on the back of the product. Also, please take a
moment to identify the problem you are having, and be prepared to explain this to the representative. If you
believe the representative will need to help you with operations, please stay near the product. Our represen-
tatives will be happy to assist you.
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your TV/VCR, remember the following:
• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources of intense heat.
• Avoid dusty or humid places.
• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation. Do not block the ventilation openings at the top and bottom of
the TV/VCR. Do not place the TV/VCR on a carpet, as this will block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
• Do not place the TV/VCR near strong magnetic fields.
• Do not move the TV/VCR from a cold place to a hot place, or vice versa.
Electrical Shock and Fire Hazards
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

rized service center.
• Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR cassette compartment.

cold room, or when the humidity is high. There is no warning that moisture has accumulated in your
TV/VCR. If you try to play a tape in a TV/VCR in which moisture has accumulated, the tape and the

cally if you are using the AUTO CLOCK feature. Details are on pages 14-17. If you are not using the
AUTO CLOCK feature, reset the clock manually. Details are on pages 12-13.) The timer recording will not
occur only if the timer recording was scheduled to take place during the power failure.
