PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or
moisture.
CAUTION:
To prevent electric shock, match wide
blade of plug to wide slot of electrical outlet and
insert fully.
Location
For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your
VCR, keep the following in mind when selecting a place
for its installation:
œ
Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from
sources of intense heat.
œ
Avoid dusty or humid places.
œ
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat
dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes of the
VCR. Do not place the unit on a carpet because this
will block the ventilation holes.
œ
Install the VCR in a horizontal position only.
œ
Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.
œ
Avoid moving the VCR between cold and hot locations
(see “Moisture Condensation Problems”, this page).
œ
Do not place the VCR directly on top of the TV, as this
may cause playback or recording problems.
Avoiding Electric Shock or Fire
œ
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
œ
Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it
from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.
œ
If any liquid is spilled on the VCR, unplug the power
cord immediately and have the unit inspected at a
factory-authorized service center.
œ
Do not place anything directly on top of the VCR.
Moisture Condensation Problems
Cause:
When the VCR is first installed, moved from a cold area
to a warm area or placed in a location with high humidity,
dew (moisture) may form inside the unit. If you operate
the VCR with dew inside, damage may result.
Prevention:
1
Make all necessary connections.
2
Plug the power cord into a 120 V AC wall outlet.
3
Turn on the power.
4
Do not operate the VCR or insert a cassette for
approximately 2 hours.
This allows the VCR to warm up to the temperature of the
room where it will be used.
WARNING:
Unauthorized recording or use of
television broadcast, video tape, film or other
copyrighted material may violate applicable
copyright laws. The manufacturer assumes no
responsibility for unauthorized duplication, use or
other acts that infringe upon the rights of copyright

ALTERNATIVE CABLE TV CONNECTIONS
Your VCR can receive all unscrambled cable channels
without the use of an external converter. If you wish to
view and record scrambled cable channels, you must
connect a converter/decoder as described below.
Your local cable TV company will advise you of the
channels available in your area.
We recommend that you consult your cable TV company
to make sure that the cable is properly connected.
When the TV does not have a built-in cable converter
Connect the cable TV converter between the VCR and
the TV so that you can watch a cable TV program while
recording another program.
NOTE:
Set the TV channel to the cable converter output
channel (CH02 ~ 07).
When you have both cable and pay TV (scrambled channels)
NOTES:
œ
With this method the TV and VCR receive the same
channel. Recording one program while watching
another is not possible.
œ
With this connection, the VCR must be set to the cable
converter/decoder output channel. (See next page.)
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER (USA only): This
reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practicable.

AUDIO/VIDEO CONNECTIONS
Stereo Connections
Connecting your VCR to your stereo TV through
audio/video jacks usually provides better picture and
sound quality. It also enables you to play back stereo
broadcast programs in stereo.

When you have a monitor TV and a stereo system
Be sure to turn the TV volume all the way down and set
the TV speaker selector switch to EXTERNAL or OFF (to

œ
Even when audio/video connections are made, always
make the antenna connection between the VHF/UHF

BASIC OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP
When you are setting up the VCR for the first time, or
after the power has failed for more than 1 hour, follow the
steps below. This AUTO SETUP operation automatically
sets the RF output channel, enters all available channels
in your area into the VCR tuner memory and sets the
VCR internal clock.
Many TV stations transmit a signal called Extended Data
Services (XDS). This VCR uses the XDS signal to
automatically set the clock. If no XDS signal is available
in your area, the VCR prompts you to set the clock
manually.
AUTO SETUP
œ
During AUTO SETUP, do not press any buttons other
than the ones indicated here.
œ
Be sure the antenna or cable connections are correct.
(See pages 10 and 11.)

Press the ù (or û) button to move down or up the list
and highlight the language of your choice. Press the

button.
The menu language is selected.
“Auto tuning memory” appears on screen. The VCR
scans all 125 channels and memorizes each active
channel in your area in succession. It takes about
4-6 minutes.
7
When Auto Tuning is completed, the VCR will select
the channel that carries the XDS signal and proceed
to Auto Clock setting.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@01
@@@@@@@Clock@set
The Auto Clock setting normally takes about
3 minutes. During this time, the VCR’s front panel
shows the channel number that is sending the XDS
signal for Auto Clock setting. Make a note of this
number, which you may need to refer to for
readjusting the clock later (see page 19).
If the Auto Clock setting entered the incorrect date
and/or time, correct it by following the steps under
Automatic Clock Adjustment on page 19.
If no XDS signal is available in your area:
“Clock set” will not appear on the screen when the
Auto Tuning operation is completed. Instead, the TV
program on the lowest channel that the VCR
memorized will appear on screen. In this case, you
must set the clock manually. Follow the steps under
Manual Clock Setting on page 20.
NOTES:
œ
The VCR will search for and memorize channels in the
CATV (cable TV) mode and TV mode.
œ
If the AC power to the VCR is interrupted for more than
1 hour, the memorized RF output channel, channel and
clock may be erased.

SETTING THE CLOCK
Generally, during the initial setup, your VCR will
automatically set the clock by detecting a channel that is
transmitting the XDS (Extended Data Services) signal.
However, if the XDS signal necessary for Automatic
Clock Setting was poor or unavailable at the time,
Automatic Clock Setting may not have been possible.
Follow the steps below to set the clock.
œ
Turn on the power (TV and VCR).
œ
Set the TV to channel 3 or 4.
œ

button, then enter the channel
number that you have made note of during Automatic
Clock Setting (see page 14).
2
Press and hold the
PAUSE/STILL
button for more
than 2 seconds.
If the channel is transmitting the XDS signal,
“Clock set” starts blinking on screen after
approximately 4 seconds.
When Automatic Clock Setting is completed, the
screen shows the current TV program.
If the screen returns to the current TV program
immediately, the XDS signal for clock setting is not
available in your area. Use the Manual Clock
Setting procedure on page 20.
NOTE:
If the Automatic Clock Setting procedure set the
wrong clock time, follow the steps under Automatic Clock
