Getting Started (Initial Setup)

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.

Press GUIDE, then press 5 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.

The screen shows the default settings on your VCR. The default settings are the ones

that are preset at the factory. They come up on the VCR every time the power goes out

for more than 1 hour--for example, during a storm or when you unplug the VCR.

Look at each item to see if it matches your own setup:

To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item. This

will cycle you through several options.

When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE again to back out of the Easy

Guide System.

If you do not use the cable box, you need to set items 1 and 8 the first time you set up

your VCR. If you receive all channels from the cable box, you need to set item 1 and

item 7 the first time you set your VCR (See page 47). The rest of the items can be set

later as needed.

Here is what the options mean:
