First, fill in the boxes on this page. It will only take a few minutes, and you must do it if you want the VCR Plus+ programming system to work properly when you do not use the TV GUIDE Plus+ system.
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 guide channel numbers, which you can find in your TV guide or the TV listings of your local newspaper.

System
Your VCR call 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 m" 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. direc.
tions on page 40 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 41 to playback tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

e You can record any channel by using your remote control to
select channels at the cable converter box (see "Cable
Converter Box Code Setting" on page 37).
If you set up the cable box using the TV GUIDE Plus+ system,
the VCR will select the cable converter box channel automatically when you program a timer recording. Details are in TV
•
GUIDE Plus+ Setup section of the TV GUIDE Plus+ manual.
• Leave the cable converter box on while you are recording.
• If you have not set up the TV GUIDE Plus+ system, you need
the following preparations before the timer recordings start.
•
• You can only program a timer recording for one channel at
a time.
• When you are prompted to enter the channel you want to
record, select channel 3 or 4 (whichever is the output chan•
nel of your cable converter box).
• Set your cable converter box to the channel you want to
record.
• Leave the cable converter box on while you are recording. :• You cannot view a channel other than the one you are recording
(the instructions on page 19 do not work with this hookup).

Positioning the cable converter box
Place the cable converterbox on top of the VCR as shown. (The
cable converter box should tilt upwardslightly. You may need to
place a small object under one side of the cable converter box in
order to tilt the cable converter box.) It is best to place the cable
converter box beyond the centcr of the VCR or along the back of
the VCR.
If the cable converter box does not receive the signals, try to slide
the cable converter box to the right or left, or move it toward the
back of the VCR until you find the best position. The signal could
be distorted if it travels through glass repeatedly. For this reason,
if your equipment is in an entertainment center with glass doors,
leave the glass doors open.
Do not block any ventilation openings of the VCR or the cable
converter box.

Satellite Hookups
•
i
•
"
• 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 program your VCR to accept
line input. To enter Line Input mode,
press 0, 0, 1 (if audio/video cables are
connected to the AUDIO and VIDEO
IN(put) jacks on the rear of the VCR),
or 0, 0, 2 (if audio/video cables are
connected to the AUDIO and VIDEO
(Input) jacks on the front of the VCR).
AV REAR or AV FRONT will appear
on your TV screen briefly.
Line Input
If you accidentally enter Line Input mode
(AV REAR or AV FRONT will appear on
your TV screen briefly), press the
CH(annel) Up/Down buttons or use the
Number buttons to select another channel.
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 temporarily 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 41.
• 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.
