BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Recording — describes the different recording

methods.

SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES

Be sure to remove these items before you

store the packing material.

Additional Information — includes a trouble-

shooting section, care and maintenance proce-

dures, and the VCR’s specifications.

• Remote control

• 75-ohm coaxial cable

We recommend you thoroughly read at least

“Installation” on Page 9 and “VCR Setup” on

Page 14, to be sure you correctly install and

set up your VCR.

Depending upon your audio/video system set-

up, you might need additional cables or adapt-

ers (available at your local RadioShack store).

Read “Installation” on Page 9 to determine

your specific needs.

When reading through this manual, keep the

following in mind:

• Some buttons on the remote control also

appear on the VCR. You can use these

buttons to operate the same functions.

Other procedures use only the VCR’s but-

tons, or only the remote control’s.

MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Condensation inside the VCR can cause tape

jams or video head damage. When you move

the VCR from a cold area to a warmer one, let

it sit for about 2 hours before you plug it in and

begin operation. This allows any moisture in-

side the VCR to completely evaporate.

• Some buttons are labeled differently on the

VCR and on the remote control. Since you

use the remote control most often to

change settings and functions, this manual

refers only to the remote control’s labels.

Unless otherwise noted, however, you can

use either the remote control’s or the

VCR’s buttons at any time.

USING THIS MANUAL

This manual has these major sections:

• All buttons, switches, and jacks on the

VCR and all buttons on the remote control

are shown in BOLD UPPERCASE letters in

this manual.

Installation — shows you how to connect the

VCR to your audio/video system.

VCR Setup — includes procedures for prepar-

ing and using the remote control, setting the

on-screen programming language, setting the

channels your VCR can tune, and setting the

clock.

• Information that appears on the TV screen

is shown in this typeface: PLAY

• Information that appears on the VCR’s dis-

play is shown in this typeface: VCR

Operation — explains how to watch TV using

the TV’s or VCR’s tuner, and load and play a

video tape.

• The VCR displays menus and options on

the TV you connect it to, and other infor-

mation (such as tape motion indicators, the

real-time counter, etc.) on its display.

Special Functions — describes what appears

on the VCR’s display and the TV screen, and

how to fast-forward and rewind a tape, use the

VCR’s special playback, display, and search

features, set the tracking manually, improve

playback of worn or damaged video tapes, and

use index search.

If a menu disappears before you finish

entering information, simply locate the step

where you first pressed MENU on the

remote control, then repeat that step and

all steps that follow.

INSTALLATION

Caution: Some state laws restrict

direct connections to cable wires

(connections that do not go through a

cable box). Check the laws in your

area before you make connections.

COMMON CONNECTIONS

Refer to the illustrations on Page 10 (Model 62)

or 11 (Model 112/113) for these connections.

Note: Some connections shown in this section

might require additional supplies, available

from your local RadioShack store.

• A cable converter box to the VCR’s IN

FROM ANT jack

Note: There are many cable TV sys-

tems in use. If you subscribe to cable

TV service and cannot record cable TV

programs, contact your local cable TV

service provider. Most cable TV service

providers offer connection help.

Connect the VCR to your TV for

playback. You can connect (choose

one):

• Your VCR’s OUT TO TV jack to your

TV’s antenna jack, using a 75-ohm

coaxial cable

You can also connect an optional

video source, such as a camcorder,

another VCR, or a DSS system to

your VCR using A/V cables. Simply

connect it as shown.

Caution: Never connect the VCR’s

OUT TO TV jack to a terminal that has

an antenna already connected. Doing

so can interfere with other receivers.

• Your VCR’s OUT TO TV jack to your

TV’s separate VHF/UHF antenna

jacks, using a 75-ohm coaxial cable

and a VHF/UHF splitter/combiner

Connection Notes:

• You can connect two video sources (three

sources for the Model 62) directly to your

VCR. To do so, you connect one source to

the AUDIO IN 1/VIDEO IN 1 jacks on the

back of the VCR using A/V cables and the

other to the IN FROM ANT jack using a 75-

ohm coaxial cable (and, with the Model 62,

another source to the AV2 AUDIO/VIDEO IN

jacks on the front of the VCR, see “Cam-

corder Connections” on Page 13).

• Your VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks

to your TV’s audio/video jacks, using

a stereo audio/video cable

Note: For the best quality recordings,

use high-quality A/V cables to make

these connections.

Connect a signal source to the VCR

• You can connect additional 75-ohm

coaxial sources to your system using a

high-isolation A/B switch to switch

between the sources.

for recording. You can connect

(choose one):

• An outside antenna, using a 75-ohm

coaxial cable, to the VCR’s IN FROM

ANT jack

• You can connect one 75-ohm coaxial

source to more than one device using a

video splitter.

• An outside antenna, using 300-ohm

lead-in wire and a 300-to-75 ohm

transformer, to the VCR’s IN FROM

ANT jack

Because of the complexity of the variations

possible when using additional video accesso-

ries, such as video signal switches, splitters,

and combiners, such configurations are not

shown in this manual.

• Your CATV (cable) source, using the

75-ohm coaxial cable directly from

the cable company, to the VCR’s IN

FROM ANT jack

Note: Setting

when the VCR is off or if you connected a TV

with separate audio/video input jacks to the

VCR’s AUDIO 1/VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

Note: When the remote control stops working

or operates poorly, replace both batteries.

REMOTE CONTROL

Cautions:

• Never leave dead or weak batteries in the

remote control. Batteries can leak chemi-

cals that can damage your remote control.

Installing Batteries

The remote control requires two AA batteries

(not supplied). For the longest operation and

best performance, we recommend alkaline bat-

teries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557).

• Dispose of dead batteries promptly and

properly; do not bury or burn them.

Using the Remote Control

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required

size and type.

To use the remote control, aim it at the front of

the VCR and press the desired function but-

tons.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different

types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or

rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of

different capacities.

1. Press the tab on the battery compartment

cover and lift off the cover in the direction

of the arrow.

when the tuner is at the lowest pro-

grammed channel, the VCR enters the

audio/video mode and LINE(LINE 1or

Using the VCR’s Tuner

Your VCR can receive up to 68 VHF and UHF

channels, and up to 125 cable channels. The

VCR displays the channels as 1–125.

Or, to directly select a channel, press the

number buttons on the remote control for

the desired channel.

Notes:

• Channels 2–13 are the same for VHF and

cable TV, and cable companies usually

number them as they appear on the dis-

play.

— for example, 01, 02, and so on.

• To enter a three-digit number, press 100,

then enter the second and third digits in

the channel number.

• Since cable companies sometimes desig-

nate cable channels with letters or letter-

number combinations, a channel number

you see on the VCR’s display might differ

from the channel number displayed on

your cable box. You might need to experi-

ment to determine the proper cable chan-

nel designations for your cable system. For

more information, contact your local cable

company.

RECORDING

There are four ways to record using your VCR:

Although T-160 video cassettes offer the long-

est recording time, they contain thinner tape

that is more likely to jam. We suggest you use

T-120 or shorter length tape.

• Immediate recording — to record a broad-

cast as you watch it or record one program

on the VCR while you watch another on

the TV.

The following chart shows the maximum re-

cording times for different-length tapes at the

recording speeds.

• Automatic timer recording — to record a

broadcast at a time you set.

• Dubbing — to record a broadcast from

another tape or video source.

• The video cassette you use for recording

must have the erase-protection tab in

place. If the tab is removed, the cassette

automatically ejects if you try to record on it

(see “Erase Protection” on Page 27).

ERASE PROTECTION

Video cassettes have an erase-protection tab

to prevent accidental erasure of a tape. To pre-

vent recording, break off the tab using a screw-

driver. The cassette automatically ejects if you

try to record on the tape.

RECORDING SPEEDS/TAPE

SELECTION

This VCR can record at three speeds: SP

(standard play), LP (long play), and EP (ex-

tended play).

SP is the fastest recording speed and results in

the highest quality picture. LP and EP record

more slowly and use less tape, but the picture

quality is not as high as a recording made at

the SP speed.

If you want to record on a video cassette that

does not have the tab, put a piece of heavy

plastic tape over the erase-protection tab hole.

The quality of tape you use greatly affects

record/playback quality and the life of the VCR.

Use only video cassettes that display the offi-

cial

logo. High-grade tape has a better ox-

ide coating that helps prevent dirty video heads

and gives the best results.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus 4-Head VHS HQ VCR is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The fol-

lowing suggestions will help you care for your VCR so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the VCR dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain min-

erals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the VCR only in normal temperature environments. Temperature ex-

tremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the VCR away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.

Handle the VCR gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cas-

es and can cause the VCR to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type in the remote control. Batteries

can leak chemicals that damage your VCR remote control’s electronic parts.

Wipe the VCR with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use

harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the VCR.

Modifying or tampering with the VCR’s internal components can cause a malfunction, invalidating

your VCR’s warranty and voiding your FCC authorization to operate it. If your VCR is not performing

as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.

Servicing Your VCR

Storing Your Video Cassettes

There are no user-serviceable parts inside your

VCR. If you encounter a problem that you can-

not correct using this manual and its trouble-

shooting guide, take the VCR to your local

RadioShack store for assistance.

Unless you are making an automatic timer re-

cording, eject and store the cassette before

you turn off the VCR. This helps protect the

cassette and the VCR’s internal mechanisms.

Place your video cassettes in their protective

boxes and store them in a cool, dry, dust-free

environment. Store the cassettes on end, not

on their sides, to prevent improper settling of

the cassette’s spools.

Cleaning the Video Heads

When video head cleaning becomes neces-

sary, the VCR displays the following message

on the TV screen while playing back a record-

ed tape.

Note: Tape can become wound too tightly

around the cassette’s spools after many play-

ings. This can make the cassette load improp-

erly and automatically eject when you insert it.

On most cassettes there is a brake-release

plunger on the bottom center of the cassette.

Use the tip of a pen or pencil to press the

plunger. This loosens the tape.

Video head cleaning kits are available from

your local RadioShack store. Clean the heads

only when the VCR displays the message

shown above. Be sure to use the “dry” type

cleaning cassette.

Serious problems require cleaning by a trained

technician. For more head cleaning informa-

tion, contact your local RadioShack store.
