when you press 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).

adjust the volume at the receiver.This connection provides the 5.1 channel surround sound as heard in
movie theaters.

a TV with Component Video In jacks.This connection provides the best picture quality. If you use this video
connection, you will not need the supplied yellow video cable.

AUDIO and VIDEO In jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR, select channel 002 (AV FRONT). If you use the
AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks on the back of the DVD/VCR, select 001 (AV REAR). If you accidentally enter
Line Input mode, press the CHANNEL o/p buttons or use the Number buttons to select another chan-
nel.
OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack: Converts electrical signals into optical signals before sending
the audio to the audio receiver. Optical audio is not prone to external electrical influences and has less
noise, which reduces adverse effects on external equipment. Keep the protective cap on the jack when the
jack is not in use.This keeps dust out of the jack.

minutes to eight hours.

connect an optional S-Video cable, you will not need to use the supplied yellow video cable.

speed, the better the picture quality will be. Slower tape speeds affect picture quality, but you can fit more
recording time onto a tape.
