Setting Up VCR Plus+
First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want your VCR's VCR Plus+ to
work properly.
Since the channel numbers of the stations you receive may not be the same as the station numbers, and since channel numbers differ from area to area, you must program the VCR with your local channel information.
To fill in the boxes, you
will need 1) a cable channel line-up list, if applicable (you can request one from your cable company), and 2) a chart that
lists VCR Plus+ guide channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

When a tape is played, fast forwarded, or recorded to its end, the VCR will
rewind the tape, go into the Stop mode, eject the tape, then turn itself off.
If the time counter memory is set, the VCR will only rewind to the point at
which the counter is set to zero, then stop. The VCR will not eject the tape

Broadcast
Stereo
System
Your VCR cal_ play recordings
broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources.
Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language).
Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source)
sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the VCR, it will be in stereo
or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can't play back tapes in stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR's stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the directions on page 36 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 37 to record in Hi-Fi stereo,

If you are having problems with your VCR, check the following list ot pzoblems and posstble solutions before requesting service.
You may be able to solve the problem yourself.
Power
No power
• Make sure the power plug is completely connected to an AC (alternatingcurrent) outlet.
• Make sure the power is turned on.
Power failure
• When you use the VCR with auto clock function OFF, follow the steps on page
10 to reset the clock.
Record ing/Playbac k
A TV program
cannot be recorded.
• Check the coimections between the VCR, TV, and antenna/cable (page six).
• Make sure the band selected (VHF/UHF) matches your antenna/cable system.
• Make sure the tape has a record tab (page five).
The VCR will not perform a timer
recording.
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure the recording start and stop times are set correctly (pages 20-25).
Make sure a tape is in the VCR and the tape has a record tab (page five).
Make sure the VCR power is off.
Make sure the clock is set (pages 10-11).
The VCR may not perform or continue a timer recording if a power interruption of
more than one minute occurs during the timer recording, even if the power comes
back on afterward.
There is no playback picture, or

contains streaks.
•
•
•
•
Make sure the TV is on the same channel as the VCR's CH3/CH4 switch (page six).
Make sure the VCR is in VCR position (pages 13, 15-16).
Make sure channel 3 or 4 is properly adjusted.

vertical jitter when using a TV
with an automatic vertical hold
control.
Set the TV's vertical hold control to manual, then adjust (see notes on page 31).
The top of the playback picture
waves back and forth excessively.
Because the VCR playback signal is not as stable as an off-the-air TV signal, the
top of the TV screen may waver during playback. To stop this, slowly turn the
horizontal hold control on the TV. If the TV does not have a horizontal hold control, or if adjusting the control does not help, contact your TV service center.

Timer light will blink.

Satellite Hookups
• Watching one TV channel while
recording another may not be possible
if you have a satellite hookup.
• You may have to set your TV to channel 3 or 4, then make your channel
selections at the satellite converter box.

• With many satellite hookups, if you use
accessory audio and video cables to
connect your VCR to your TV, you will
have to put your VCR in Line Input
mode. To enter Line Input mode, press
0, 0. A/V IN will appear on your TV
screen briefly.

buttons or use the Number

Daylight-Saving Time
When automatic Daylight-Saving
Time is
set, the clock time will change automatically as follows: on the first Sunday in
April, from 2:00 AM to 3:00 AM; on the
last Sunday in October, from 2:00 AM to
1:00 AM.
• During the April time change, a timer
recording programmed
to start between
2:00 AM and 2:59 AM will not record.
A timer recording programmed
to end
between 2:00 AM and 2:59 AM will
end when the clock moves forward
(2:00 AM).
• During the October time change, a
recording cannot be started between
the second 1:00 AM and 1:59 AM.
Hi-Fi Stereo Sound
• During playback, Hi-Fi audio may ten]porarily revert to normal audio when
you adjust tracking.
This is normal.
• When connecting the VCR to a stereo
TV, you will only get stereo sound if you
use audio cables to connect the audio output jacks on the VCR to the audio input
jacks on your TV, and if the TV is in Line
(Auxiliary) Input mode.
• When you connect the audio output
jacks on the VCR to the audio input
;jacks on your TV, the stereo light on the
TV might not glow. But, as long as the
status display indicates a stereo signal,
you are receiving a stereo signal. This
is normal.
• If Hi-Fi audio continually
reverts to
normal audio during playback, you
may want to change AUDIO OUT to
MONO at step 4 on page 37.
• Only tapes recorded in Hi-Fi audio will
play back in Hi-Fi audio. Tapes
recorded in normal audio will play
back in monaural audio.
