INSTALLING THE REMOTE CONTROL'S BATTERIES

The remote control requires two AAA batteries (not included) for
operation.  We recommend alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-555).

Install the batteries as shown below.

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the cover in the
    direction of the arrow.

2.  Place two fresh AAA 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.

Caution:

Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size and type.  Always remove
old or weak batteries.  They can leak chemicals that can damage electronic
circuits.

SETTING THE CLOCK

Use the remote control to set the clock.

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

In the following example, the clock is set to 9:30 p.m. July 4, 1992.

1.  Press POWER to turn on the VCR.

2.  Turn on your TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's CHANNEL
    3/4 switch (located on the back of the VCR).  Then, press TV/VCR on
    the remote control so that VCR appears on the VCR's display.
    The TV screen shows a blue display.

    Note:

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

3.  Press PROG on the remote control.

    a.  If you are setting the clock after plugging in the VCR, the
        clock-setting mode automatically appears on the TV screen with
        the first hour digit flashing.

    b.  If you are not setting the clock for the first time after plugging
        in the VCR, the MENU display appears on the TV screen.  Press 1 to
        enter the clocksetting mode.  The first hour digit flashes.

4.  Press the remote control's number buttons to set the correct hour and
    minute.  (Press 0, 9, 3, and 0 to set 9:30, for example.)

    Precede a single-digit entry with 0.  If you press a wrong number
    button, press PROG/QTR/CLEAR and press the correct button.

5.  Press 1 to select a.m. or press 2 to select p.m.  Your VCR uses an
    a.m./p.m. clock.

6.  Press the number buttons to set the correct date.
    (Press 0, 7, 0, 4, 9, and 2 to set July 4, 1992, for example.)

7.  Review the entered information.

    If it is correct, press PROG.  The clock-setting mode display changes
    to the MENU display and the VCR display changes to the correct clock
    display.

    If the information is not correct, press PROG/QTR/CLEAR as necessary
    to erase the wrong information.  Then, enter the correct information.
    Press PROG to store the information.

8.  Press PROG again to clear the MENU display.

    Notes:

    If you enter an invalid date or time (13:00, for example), ? flashes.
    Enter the correct date or time.

    Seconds begin counting a 00 when you press PROG after you set the
    date.

    If the display shows an abnormal reading or no reading, unplug the
    power cord for about 5 minutes.  Then, plug it back in and repeat
    Steps 1-8 to reset the clock.
