Using On-Screen Menus
Auto TV/VCR
To control whether the TV/VCR setting changes automatically to the VCR mode when the VCR is
turned on, use the Auto TV/VCR setting.
To Access the Auto TV/VCR Menu:
1. In the PREFERENCES menu, press 3 to repeatedly to toggle between Auto TV/VCR: ON and
OFF.
Note: Pressing the TV•VCR button on the remote control will still switch between the VCR
and TV modes. When in VCR mode, "VCR" is displayed in the VCR's front panel. The
indicator turns off when in TV mode.
•
Select ON to switch VCR mode on automatically when the unit's power is turned on.
The VCR must be connected to the TV using the supplied RF coaxial cable for this
feature to work correctly.
•
To remain in the TV mode when the VCR is turned on, select OFF. Leaving Auto TV/VCR
off is useful if you use A/V cables to connect the VCR to the TV and watch the VCR's
picture using the TV's video line input. This way, the antenna/cable signal will not be
interrupted by the VCR.
EnergySaver
By default, the VCR automatically turns off after two hours of inactivity. This can be changed in
the Preferences menu by pressing the 4 button repeatedly to change the time delay or to disable
the feature altogether.
•
Select OFF and the VCR will stay on until you shut it off.
•
Select 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 and the VCR will turn off after one, two, or three hours of
inactivity.
Thirty seconds before shutting off, the VCR will warn you with an on-screen message reading,
"The VCR will turn off in 30 seconds. Press any key to cancel." Pressing any remote control or
VCR front panel button will halt the countdown.
If you use the VCR's tuner instead of your TV to tune channels, you may want to turn this
feature off.
Front Panel Brightness (VCR Display)
You can change the brightness level of the VCR's front panel display. In the Preferences menu,
press the 5 button repeatedly to toggle between options:
•
AUTO The display brightens when the VCR is on and dims when the VCR is off.
•
BRIGHT The display is bright whether the VCR is on or off.
•
DIM The display is at a low brightness level whether the VCR is on or off.
