Getting Started (Initial Setup)

You may view all the on-screen instructions in English, French or Spanish. When you
first set up your VCR, it will be set to English. Press number 6 or 7 for the other
language options.
Now, you will do most of your programming and setup by pressing numbers on the
remote control which correspond to options presented in this and other on-screen
menus. Instructions are easy to follow, and blinking spaces on the screen will show you
where your input is needed.
When you want to leave the Easy Guide Menu, simply press GUIDE several times.
This will back you out to the normal TV viewing screen.
If you don't press any button for a while, the VCR will switch you back to an earlier
screen or to regular TV viewing.
Getting Started (Initial Setup)

Setup for First-Time Operation

Before you use your VCR to watch or record from your TV, you need to "tell" the VCR
whether your TV uses cable or antenna input and let it program itself to receive your
TV's channels. It's also a good idea to set the clock so you can do timed recording later.
With your TV and VCR hooked up, turn them both on and follow these steps using the
remote control.

Setup Options

Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the Setup screen.
