TUNING

Tuning of broadcast channels not already preset in the VCR
can be performed in two ways.

AUTOMATIC TUNING

• By "AUTOMATICALLY" tuning channels and placing them
in sequential order in the VCR's memory i.e. the first
channel found will be memorised into the VCR's channel
position 1, the second channel found will be memorised
into the VCR's channel position 2 and so on.
• Execution of the "Automatic" tuning cancels all the preset
channels. DO NOT use this feature if you intend to use
some of the pre-tuned channels. Use the "Manual" tuning
function to tune in the additional channels you require.

MANUAL TUNING

• Each channel is tuned manually and individually. Follow
the steps laid out in the "MANUAL TUNING" section.
Before you tune...
• It is necessary to set the video channel if your VCR is
connected to the TV via the coaxial cable, and TV channel
35 is employed for broadcasting, or interference lines
appear on the picture. Please refer to "Video Channel
Setting".
