VIEWING TV
Using the TV's Tuner
To view a broadcast using the TV's tuner, turn off the VCR, or press TV/VCR
on the VCR or remote control until VCR disappears from the VCR's display.
NOTE: If you are using a TV/monitor connected to the VCR's AUDIO/VIDEO OUT
jacks, be sure to set it to the TV mode.
The antenna or cable signals pass through the VCR unaffected, as if the
antenna or cable were connected directly to the TV. You can use the TV as
you normally would.
Using the VCR's Tuner
1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's OUTPUT
CHANNEL switch (3 or 4).
NOTE: If you are using a TV/monitor that is connected to the VCR's
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks, set it to the video mode (see "If Your TV
Has Audio/Video (A/V) input Jacks" on Faxback Doc. # 31877).
2. Press TV/VCR on the VCR or remote control until VCR appears on the
VCR's display.
SELECTING CHANNELS
Your VCR can receive up to 68 VHF and UHF channels, and up to 123 cable
channels. The VCR displays the channels as 1-123.
NOTES: Channels 2-13 are the same for VHF and cable TV, and cable
companies usually number them as they appear on the display.
Since cable companies sometimes designate cable channels with
letters or letter-number combinations, a channel number you see on
the VCR's display might differ from the channel number displayed on
your cable box. You might have to experiment to determine the
proper cable channel designations for your cable system. For more
information, contact your local cable company.
To manually select a channel, press CH (+) or (-). The tuner automatically
advances to the next channel stored in the tuner's memory.
NOTE: If you press CH (+) when the tuner is at the highest programmed
channel or CH (-) when the tuner is at the lowest programmed
channel, the VCR enters the audio/video mode and AV1 or AV2 appears
on the TV (see "Selecting the Signal to Record" on Faxback Doc. #
31884). Continue to press CH (+) or (-) until the highest or
lowest programmed channel appears.
To directly select a channel, press the number buttons on the remote
control for the desired channel.
NOTES: Precede a single-digit number with a 0 - for example, 01, 02, etc.
To enter a three-digit number, press 100. Then enter the second
and third digits in the channel number.
VIEWING A VIDEO TAPE
Loading a Video Tape
1. Turn on the TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's OUTPUT
CHANNEL switch (3 or 4).
NOTE: If you are using a TV/ monitor that is connected to the VCR's
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks, set it to the video mode.
2. Hold the cassette with the main label facing up and the spine facing
out from the VCR. Then insert the cassette into the VCR's compartment
and gently push the center of its spine until the VCR draws it in.
The VCR automatically turns on, and the clock display changes to the
tape counter if you removed the erase-protection tab from the tape. If
the erase-protection tab has been removed from the cassette, playback
automatically begins (see "Erase Protection" on Faxback Doc. # 31884).
CAUTION: Never insert anything except a VHS video cassette into the
cassette compartment. You might damage the VCR's internal
mechanisms.
PLAYING A VIDEO TAPE
1. Load a video tape.
2. If playback does not automatically begin, press PLAY. The VCR plays
the tape.
NOTE: During playback, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking,
but you can manually adjust it if necessary (see "Adjusting the
Tracking Manually" on Faxback Doc. # 31885).
3. (Model 59 only) You can choose the type of audio you want the Model
59 to play back.
To set the audio output option, press 4 on the remote control to select SET
UP from the main menu display, then press 7 on the remote control to select
AUDIO OUTPUT. AUDIO OUTPUT is highlighted, and the currently selected
audio output option ([L]-[R] [Stereo], [L], [R], or LINEAR) flashes. Then,
repeatedly press CH (+) or (-) to select an audio output option.
The following table shows the audio channels you hear when you receive a
stereo broadcast or play back a stereo video tape through a stereo system
or stereo TV connected to the VCR.
DISPLAY VHF OUTPUT AUDIO OUT
_____________________________________________________________________
L-R L-R combined (mono) Left channel from L OUT,
(Stereo) right from R OUT
_____________________________________________________________________
L Left channel only Left channel from
L and R
_____________________________________________________________________
R Right channel only Right channel from
L and R
_____________________________________________________________________
LINEAR Regular audio track Regular audio track from

_____________________________________________________________________
NOTES: If you play a tape recorded on a standard VCR, the Model 59 plays
the linear audio track, regardless of the audio output setting.
If the audio program was recorded on two linear channels on a
stereo but not Hi-Fi VCR, the stereo signal becomes mono and the
SAP signal becomes the main signal.
4. To stop playback before the end of the tape, press STOP/EJECT on the
VCR or STOP on the remote control.
5. To eject the tape, press STOP/EJECT again on the VCR or press EJECT on
the remote control.
NOTES: If the tape reaches the end before you press STOP/EJECT or EJECT,
the VCR automatically stops the tape, completely rewinds and ejects
it, then turns itself off.
When the VCR is off, you can press STOP/EJECT on the VCR or EJECT
on the remote control to eject a tape. The VCR ejects the tape
then turns itself off.
