8 Hookups With a Cable Box / Direct Broadcast System  
There are two ways to connect your Cable Box/DBS to the VCR. With this connection:  
You may view any channel.  
You must select channels at the Cable Box/DBS. Channels cannot be changed at the VCR.  
You may not view a channel other than the one you are recording.  
You may not program channels at the VCR.  
You can only program a timer recording for one channel at a time. Set the TV and the VCR to the  
Cable Box/DBS output channel (channel 03 or 04), and set your Cable Box/DBS to the channel you  
want to record. When you enter the channel you want to record in a timer recording, select channel 03  
or 04 (the Cable Box/DBS output channel). (This is step 5 on page 36.) Leave the Cable Box/DBS on for  
a timer recording.

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.

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 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.

Automatic Operation Features 53  
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, and turn itself off.  
If the real-time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind  
the tape 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.  
Tape Eject  
A tape can be ejected with the VCR power on or off (but the  
VCR must be plugged in).  
Autom atic Tracking Adjustm ent  
The VCR adjusts tracking automatically to give you the best possi-  
ble picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a  
better picture using the manual tracking controls (see below).  
Manual Tracking  
To manually adjust the tracking during playback and slow motion  
playback, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the VCR or the  
TRACKING o/p button on the remote control.  
Tracking will return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment when you  
press the STOP/p button or insert a tape.  
You cannot manually adjust the tracking of a Still picture.  
However, you may press the CHANNEL o/p buttons on the

54 Multi-Channel Television Sound 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.  
Then follow the directions on page 55 to record in stereo or second audio and 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 pro-  
grammed to receive a second  
audio or stereo broadcast (it  
cannot be programmed to  
receive both at the same  
time). Follow the steps on  
page 55 to program the VCR  
to receive a second audio or  
stereo broadcast.  
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. Even though a program is  
available in second audio or  
stereo, you still must program the  
VCR to receive or record the pro-  
gram. Follow the directions on  
page 55. This indication is not  
available during tape playback.

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.  
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.
