PREPARATION FOR USE

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Some of the remote control's buttons are duplicated on the VCR's front
panel.  You can use these buttons for identical procedures either at
the VCR or by remote control.

However, several buttons appear only on the remote control.  To use the
remote control, install the batteries, point the control at the VCR,
and press the desired button(s).  See "Installing the Remote Control's
Batteries."

INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES

The remote control requires two AA batteries (not included) for operation.
We recommend Radio Shack's alkaline batteries (Cat. No. 23-552).

Install the batteries as shown below.

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing on the cover and
    sliding it in the direction of the arrow.

2.  Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment, observing the
    polarity symbols (+ and -) marked in the compartment.

3.  Replace the compartment cover.

    NOTE:  If the remote control does not work or operates erratically,
           replace both batteries.


SETTING THE CLOCK

Use the remote control to set the clock.

Be sure you accurately set the clock for proper automatic timer and quick
timer recording.  We suggest that you refer to a TV station or radio
station to obtain the correct time.

NOTE:  For "Setting the Clock" the instructions refer to the TV's on-screen
display indicators.  Some of the VCR's display indicators vary slightly.

       In the following example, the clock is set to 5:40 p.m. Tuesday,
       May 8, 1990.

1.  Plug the VCR's power cord into a standard AC outlet.  The VCR's
    display flashes SA AM 12:00.

2.  Press [POWER] to turn on the VCR.

3.  If you want to use the on-screen display, turn on the TV and set
    it to the same channel as the OUTPUT CHANNEL switch on the back of the
    VCR.

    Then, press [TV/VCR] so that VCR appears on the VCR's display.

    NOTE:  If you use a TV monitor, be sure to set it to the video mode.

4.  Press [ON SCREEN].  The program/clock display appears on the TV
    screen.  The bottom line is the clock display.

5.  Press [CLOCK SET].  The hour digits flash.  Then, press [UP] or [DOWN]
    until the TV displays the correct hour (PM 5:00, for example).

    NOTE:  Your VCR uses a 24-hour a.m./p.m. clock.  Be sure that the
           TV correctly displays AM or PM.

6.  Press [SET].  The minute digits flash.  Then, press [UP] or [DOWN]
    until the TV displays the correct minute (PM 5:40, for example).

7.  Press [SET].  The month flashes.  Then, press [UP] or [DOWN] until
    the TV displays the correct month (MAY, for example).

8.  Press [SET].  The date digits flash.  Then, press [UP] or [DOWN] until
    the TV displays the correct date (8, for example).

9.  Press [SET].  The year digits flash.  Then, press [UP] or [DOWN]
    until the TV displays the correct year (90, for example).

    NOTES:  The TV does not display seconds, but they begin counting
            at 00 when you press [SET], after you set the year.

            You automatically set the day of the week when you set
            the month, date, and year.

10.  Review the entered information.

     If it is correct, press [SET].  Then, press [ON SCREEN] to return
     to the normal TV display.

     If the information is incorrect, press [SET], [CLOCK SET] and
     repeat Steps 5-10.

     If the TV's display shows on abnormal reading or no reading, use
     a ball-point pen to press [ALL CLEAR] in the VCR's control
     compartment and clear all the programmed information.
