Before You Begin

Supplied Accessories

Be sure to remove the remote control and 75-Ohm coaxial cable before you
store the packing material.

Depending upon your audio/video system setup, you might need additional
cables or adapters (available at your local Radio Shack store). Read
"Installation" on Faxback Doc. # 44928 to determine your specific needs.

Moisture Condensation

Condensation inside the VCR can cause tape jams or video head damage. When
you move the VCR from a cold area to a warmer one, let it set for about 2
hours before you plug it in and begin operation.  This allows any moisture
inside the VCR to completely evaporate.

When reading through this manual, keep the following in mind:

  Some buttons on the remote control also appear on the VCR.  You can use
  these buttons to operate the same functions.  Other procedures use only
  the VCR's buttons, or only the remote controls.

  Some buttons are labeled differently on the VCR and on the remote control.
  Since you use the remote control most often to change settings and func-
  tions, this manual refers only to the remote controls labels.  Unless
  otherwise noted, however, you can use either the remote control's or the
  VCR's buttons at any time.

  All buttons, switches, and jacks on the VCR and all buttons on the remote
  control are shown in BOLD UPPERCASE letters in this manual.

  Information that appears on the TV screen is shown in this typeface: PLAY.

  Information that appears on the VCR's display is shown in this typeface:
  VCR.

  The VCR displays menus and options on the TV you connect it to, and other
  information (such as tape motion indicators, the real-time counter, etc.)
  on its display.

  If a menu disappears before you finish entering information, simply
  locate the step where you first pressed MENU on the remote control, then
  repeat that step and all steps that follow.
