First Things First

Hi, my name is Roger...

and I wrote this User’s Guide. It’s my job to see

that you have a rewarding user manual experience.

You’ll find that I’ve arranged this manual to clearly

explain all your VCR’s features.

Read the First Three sections

The first three sections of the manual introduce

you to your VCR, and show you how to set the VCR

up and use the on-screen menus. Reading these

sections gives you the basic information you need

to use your VCR.

What’s Left?

The rest of the book highlights playback and

recording information, contains a detailed

connections section, and a reference section that

includes troubleshooting tips, limited warranty, and

index.

READ ME!

These note boxes give you tips for

your new video cassette recorder.

First Things First

Step 1: Unpack What’s in the Box

The following items come packed in the box:

• VCR

• Remote control

• RF antenna cable

STEP 2: Install Batteries In the

Remote Control

Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the

batteries in your VCR remote.

1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.

2. Place batteries in remote, matching the + and – ends of each

battery to the diagram inside the compartment.

3. Replace the cover.

STEP 3: Connect your vcr

If you connect your VCR to your home antenna or cable system

and then to your TV, use the VCR’s IN FROM ANT. and OUT TO TV

jacks for a good signal as shown.

If you have a TV with AUDIO/VIDEO jacks, use these jacks for

better picture and sound quality. If you have a stereo TV with left

and right Audio/Video jacks, connect the VCR’s AUDIO OUT to

the TV’s left audio input. Refer to the Connections section,

toward the back of the manual for more details.

STEP 4: PLUG IN THE VCR

Match the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the

outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.
