TV/VCR Maintenance  
In this TV/VCR, use only tapes with the  
mark. The use of  
other tapes may result in poor picture quality and excessive  
deposits on the video heads, which may not be covered by the  
warranty if damage occurs.  
Make sure any light adhesive stick-on notes are removed from the  
video cassette tape before putting the tape in the TV/VCR.  
Removable labels like these can jam the TV/VCR.  
Periodic maintenance is required to maintain your TV/VCR’s excel-  
lent performance. This TV/VCR has an automatic head cleaning  
system. However, the video heads will eventually require cleaning  
or replacement. Only an authorized service center should perform  
this service.

Although the remote control that  
comes with your TV/VCR will work  
most Cable Boxes and DBSs, it is  
possible that the remote control will  
not operate your Cable Box or DBS.  
The remote control may only oper-  
ate some features of your Cable  
Box or DBS. 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.  
If you can not change the channels  
at the Cable Box by using the  
Number buttons, press the  
CABLE/DBS button before you press  
the Number buttons. It may change  
channels at the Cable Box.  
If you had to program the remote

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.

match. Where the channel numbers DO NOT match, you must  
tell the TV/VCR the VCR Plus+ and Cable/TV channel numbers

ing is not broadcast, you cannot receive it. This does not indicate  
a problem with the TV/VCR. Refer to your areas TV program

Helpful Hints  
You cannot view closed captions  
during recording or tape playback if  
COUNTER ONLY is set to ON.  
Details are on page 28.  
Abbreviations, symbols, and other  
grammatical shortcuts are often  
used in order to keep pace with the  
on-screen action. This does not indi-  
cate a problem with the TV/VCR.  
• When you change channels, the  
closed captions may be delayed for  
a few seconds.  
• When you adjust the volume or  
mute the volume, closed captions  
may be delayed for a few seconds.  
56 Volume Bar  
Usually, the volume bar appears when you press the VOL(ume)  
m/n button. If you do not need it, set the VOLUME BAR to OFF.  
For example, when you watch a program that is being broadcast  
with closed captions, you may choose to set the VOLUME BAR to  
OFF so the captions can remain on the screen. The captions will  
remain on the screen even when you press the VOL(ume) m/n  
button or the MUTE button.

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 tapes 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).  
Manual Tracking  
To adjust the tracking manually, press the CHANNEL o/p but-  
tons on the TV/VCR or the TRACKING m/n button on the  
remote control.
