automatically be set when the antenna is
connected and when the AC power cord is first
connected to an AC power outlet (
Z
pg. 8).
(If “Auto” or “CH” is displayed on the front display
panel before the VCR is turned on, the clock and
tuner channels are being set automatically. Wait
until the clock time is displayed on the front display
panel before turning on the VCR.)
5
Final preparation for use
Turn on the VCR and set the CH3-CH4 switch on the
rear (shown below) to either CH3 or CH4 correctly.
c
The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3
position.
Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your
area. (To view the picture from this VCR through
this channel, select the same channel on the TV
with the CH3–CH4 switch setting on the VCR.)
c
You can now perform basic playback (
Z
pg.
21) or basic recording (
Z
pg. 25).
NOTES:
c
The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the
picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF
connection. The VCR’s CH3-CH4 switch, on the back of the
VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.
c
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 (
Z
pg. 26).
c
For full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the
Index (
Z
pg. 60).
