PREPARATION FOR USE

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Some of the buttons on the remote control are duplicated on the VCR's
front panel.  Using these buttons, you can perform identical procedures
either at the VCR or by remote control.

However, many of the special function buttons appear only on the remote
control.  Of course, procedures that require these buttons can be accessed
only by remote control.  The following drawings highlights the remote-only
controls.

To use the remote control, install the batteries (not supplied), point the
control at the VCR, and press the desired button(s).

SETTING THE CLOCK

You must use the remote control to set the clock.

You must set the clock accurately to assure proper automatic-timer and

your time source.  In the Following example, the clock is set to 2:15 p.m.
on Tuesday.
