AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the back of the VCR
which are used to record audio from another source (IN) or to
send audio to another system (OUT).
Automatic Channel Setup: process in which the VCR scans
all available channels and places the ones you receive in its memo-
ry. Then, when you push the CHANNEL (o/p) buttons, you
only scan through channels you receive.
Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels.
• Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2-13) and UHF
(ultra high frequency; channels 14-69).
• Cable – all standard channels can be received without a Cable
Box/DBS.
Cable Box/DBS Output Channel: Channel 3 or 4.
Dubbing: copying a tape using a second VCR.
Frame: a single still picture.
HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides
enhanced picture detail.

your TV screen briefly), press the CHANNEL (o/p) buttons or
use the Number buttons to select another channel.

that starts immediately and records for 30 minutes to eight hours,

Remote Control: the small electronic unit that came with your
VCR; allows you to operate your VCR from a distance.
RF coaxial cable: The cable supplied with your VCR. Use it to
connect your VCR to your TV (or Cable Box/DBS, if applicable).
The supplied cable is a snap-on type. However, you may also use a
screw-on type if you prefer.

• SLP (super long play) – slowest tape speed (recording time for a
T120 tape is approximately six hours).
