S-video Connection
(allows you to make the most of the S-VHS picture performance.)
If your TV is equipped with a S-video input connector
A
Perform “RF Connection” previously described.
B
Connect a S-video cable between the S VIDEO OUT
connector on the rear of the VCR and the S-video input
connector on the TV.
C
Connect an audio cable between the AUDIO OUT connectors
on the rear of the VCR and the audio input connectors on the
TV.
●
Even if you are using audio/video 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.
D
Perform Plug&Play setup
Plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet. Do not turn on the
VCR. The clock and tuner channels will be set automatically. The
time and date can be set automatically by the clock setting data
transmitted from one of the regular TV broadcast channels. We
call this TV channel the “host channel” and it is a PBS channel in
your area.
ATTENTION:
●
If you use a cable box, Plug&Play will not function; set the clock
and tuner channels separately (
墌
pg. 7 – 8).
●
Depending on areas or reception conditions, the VCR may not
receive the Auto clock setting data from a PBS channel. If this
function is taking a considerable amount of time, it may
necessary to perform the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set”
(
墌
pg. 7) or “Manual Clock Set” (
墌
pg. 8).
What to do if Plug&Play setting failed
●
If an incorrect time is displayed on the display panel, perform
the procedure in “Semiauto Clock Set” (
墌
pg. 7) or “Manual
Clock Set” (
墌
pg. 8).
●
If “–:– –” appears on the display panel, ensure that the antenna
cable is connected correctly. Then turn on and off the VCR; the
Plug&Play setting will be automatically reactivated. If Plug&Play
setting is not performed though the antenna cable is connected
correctly, perform the procedure in “Manual Clock Set”
(
墌
pg. 8) and “Auto Channel Set” (
墌
pg. 8) or “Manual
Channel Set” (
墌
pg. 8).
