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 on your video system set-up, you might need additional
cables or adapters (available at your local RadioShack store).

Read "Installation" in Faxback Doc. # 50958 to determine your specific

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.

install and set up your VCR.

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

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

  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 functions, the manual refers only to the remote control's 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 UPPERCASE letters in this manual.

  Information that appears on the TV screen is shown in this typeface
  and in UPPERCASE.

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

  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/ACTION on the remote
  control, then begin again at that step.
