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

this product and keep this booklet for future reference.  
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.

FINAL PREPARATION FOR  
USE  
NOTES:  
● The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display  
the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3-  
CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to  
CH3 or CH4.  
Power on the VCR and select the VCR channel (3 or 4)  
by setting the switch on the rear of the VCR as shown in  
the illustration.  
● The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position.  
Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area and  
set the channel on the TV to correspond to the VCR's CH3–  
CH4 switch setting.  
You can now perform simple playback (੬ pg. 15) or  
simple recording (੬ pg. 16).  
● If RF connection to TV is used, when switching from VCR to TV  
mode and from TV to VCR it may be necessary to issue a CH UP  
and then CH DOWN on TV to obtain a good quality picture.  
● Even if you are using AV cables to connect your VCR to your  
TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will  
ensure that you can record one show while watching another  
(੬ pg. 28).  
● For full identification of the VCR's rear panel, refer to the  
Index (REAR VIEW ੬ pg. 43).

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 antenna cable to the VCR (੬ pg. 6). Then  
connect the VCR’s power plug to an AC outlet. Do not  
power on the VCR. The clock and tuner channels will  
automatically be set.

● 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  
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  
● When Plug & Play has been completed successfully the  
correct time is displayed.  
Plug & Play is in progress.  
● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, there’s no need to  
perform the Clock (੬ pg. 9) and Tuner (੬ pg. 12)  
procedures. If, however, you want to add or delete  
channels, refer to “Add Or Delete A Channel” on page 14.  
● If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET"  
is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on  
page 10, the clock will be adjusted automatically by  
the Host PBS 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 is "AUTO CLOCK SET".  
● 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. 10) or Manual  
Clock Set (੬ pg. 11) 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, there may not be a  
Host PBS signal available in your area, or your cable  
box may not be set to the PBS channel. Ensure that the  
antenna cable is connected correctly. If you use a cable  
box ensure that your local PBS is selected on your cable  
box (੬ ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS). 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 everything  
is connected and set correctly, perform the Manual  
Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 11). Auto channel set has  
not yet taken place, so please also perform the “Set  
Receivable Channels” procedure (੬ pg. 12).  
ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERS  
If you perform the Plug & Play procedure . . .  
● Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging  
your VCR’s power plug into the AC outlet. (If you have  
more than one PBS channel, you may have to select an  
alternative PBS channel if Plug & Play is not successful.)  
● If there is no PBS channel in your area, perform the  
Manual Clock Set procedure (੬ pg. 11).  
● For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's  
power must be off and the cable box must be set to the  
PBS channel at clock adjustment times.  
● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, D.S.T. will be set to  
“AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (੬ pg. 11), your  
VCR's power must be off and your cable box must be set to  
the host PBS channel in your area for the D.S.T. adjustment  
to take place. If the clock is not set correctly, change the  
D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See step 9 of Semi-Auto  
procedure (੬ pg. 10) or step 6 of Manual procedure (੬  
pg. 11).  
NOTE:  
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.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
40  
EN  
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 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 to protect the heads. When paused  
during Instant Timer Recording (ITR), the VCR shuts  
off automatically after 5 minutes.  
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame  
playback, I can’t hear any audio. What’s the  
problem?  
A. This is normal.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
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.  
A. The VCR automatically rewinds it to the beginning.  
TIMER RECORDING  
Q. REC and TIMER remain lit on the front display panel.  
Is there a problem?  
A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording  
in progress.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
Q. Can I program the timer while I’m watching a tape  
or a TV broadcast?  
A. No, it is normal.  
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.  
Q. Noise bars appear during multi-speed search. What’s  
the problem?  
A. This is normal.  
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 becomes momentarily distorted  
at the point where the first program ends and the  
second program begins. Is this a malfunction?  
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.
