The AUTO
PROG (Automatic
Programming) button
makes it easy and convenient
to program TV stations
into the VCR's scan list. The scan list is the list of
channels
that your VCR tuner stops on when you
press
the CHANNEL
• or CHANNEL
• button.
The scan list is empty, however, until you program
active channels as described
below.
Note: You must program the tuner as described below
before
you
can
use
CHANNEL
A/V
buttons.
Automatic
programming
is usually
a "one-time"
procedure, but you will need to repeat it if you move
to a location that has different channels, or if power is
interrupted.
To program
active channels:
1. Turn on VCR by pressing the POWER button.
2. Set the NORM/CATVswitch
on the back of the
VCR.
NORM
CATV
• Set
to NORM
position
if your

is
connected
to a home antenna
system.
• Set
to
CA TV
position
if your
VCR
is
connected
to a cable-TV system.
3. Press and release the AUTO
PROG button.

• The tuner will automatically
cycle through all
available channels in the area and place them
in the scan list. This takes about a minute.
The
channel
numbers
will stop
changing
when
the
tuner
is
finished
cycling.
Programming
is now complete
and you can
use the CHANNEL
•/•
buttons
to select
channels.
4. If you want to erase or add individual
channels
from the scan list, refer to the instructions at the
right.
-Erasing
Channels from the Scan List
You may want to have only a few favorite channels in
the scan list so you can select them more quickly with
the CHANNEL
• and • buttons. (Use the numbered
buttons on the remote control to select channels you
erased from the scan list.)
Occasionally
Automatic
Programming
may include a
vacant channel in the scan list if there happened
to be
some sort of "noise" or "stray signal" on the channel
when the tuner
was programmed.
This procedure
explains how to erase any unwanted
channels
from
the scan list.
1. Use the CHANNEL
• or • button to select the
channel that you want to remove from the scan
list.
2. Press ERASE.
3. Repeat the procedure for each channel you want
to erase from the scan list.
-Adding
Channels to the Scan List
You may have erased a channel from the scan list and
want
to
put
it
back.
Occasionally
Automatic
Programming
may "miss" an active channel because
the signal
is very weak or because
the channel
happened
to be "off the air" when the tuner
was
programmed.
Use this procedure
to put any channel
in the scan list.
1. Use
the
numbered
buttons
on
the
remote
control to select the channel you want to add to
the scan list.
2. Press ADD.
3. Repeat the procedure for each channel you want
to add to the scan list.
Note: Channel 91 is used to access other devices you
may have connected
to the AUDIO/
VIDEO 1N jacks
on the back of your VCR. You can add Channel 91 to
the channel scan list.
1. Press "9" then "1" on the remote control.
2. Press the ADD button on the VCR.
The
LINE
indicator
will appear
in the
VCR
display when Channel 91 is used to access a device
you have connected
to the AUDIO/
VIDEO IN jacks;
such as a satellite receiver, camera, or another VCR.
