Model 34/35 13" Color TV/VCR
(160-0426/7) Setup Faxback Doc. # 51760
FRONT PANEL
The buttons on the TV/VCR's front panel control the TV and the VCR.
REMOTE CONTROL
All of the remote control's buttons have the same functions as the buttons
on the TV/VCR's front panel. In addition, the number buttons let you
directly select channels and menu options.
Installing Batteries
The remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries such
as Cat. No. 23-557.
Cautions:
* Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
* Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it in the
direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control operates poorly or not at all, replace the
batteries.
Cautions:
* Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn
them.
* If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or more,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.
Using the Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim the front of the remote control toward the
front of the TV/VCR and press the desired button(s).
SETTING THE ON-SCREEN LANGUAGE/CHANNELS/CLOCK
The first time you turn on the TV/VCR, the language selection menu
automatically appears, letting you select the on-screen display language
(English, French, or Spanish).
After you select an on-screen language, the TV/VCR automatically stores
channels into memory. Then the TV/VCR automatically sets the clock if a
broadcast station with an EDS signal is available in your area.
Notes:
* Make sure you have connected the TV/VCR to you cable system or an
antenna before continuing (see "Connections," Faxback Doc. # 51756).
* EDS is a service provided by some broadcasters (such as PBS) to
transmit various types of information, including the current time. If
no broadcaster in your area transmits EDS signals, you must set the
clock manually after the TV/VCR finishes looking for an EDS signal. If
you want to use timer recording immediately, you can stop the TV/VCR
from looking for an EDS signal by setting the clock manually.
* The TV/VCR might not store active channels and automatically set the
clock if the signal the TV/VCR receives from your antenna is weak.

automatically appears.
