Model 202 Hi-Fi Stereo VCR with Four-Head Double Azimuth
(160-0642) Preparation Faxback Doc. # 57215
VCR Setup
Setting The VCR's Output Channel
If you connected the VCR's VHF/UHF OUT TO TV terminal to a TV or another
VCR, set 3-CH-4 on the back of the VCR to 3 or 4, whichever is not an
active channel in your area.
When VCR appears, the VCR sends the signal from the video source connected
to its IN FROM ANT. jack or R-AUDIO-L IN/VIDEO IN 1 or AV2 terminals to
the TV on the channel you selected.
Note: Setting 3-CH-4 has no effect on the TV when the VCR is off or if
you connected a TV with separate audio/video input jacks to the
VCR's R-AUDIO-L/VIDEO IN jacks.
Remote Control
Installing Batteries
The remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied). For the
longest operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries,
available through your local RadioShack store.
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 the tab on the battery compartment cover and lift off the cover
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Put fresh batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Note: When the remote control stops working or operates poorly, replace
both batteries.
CAUTIONS: Never leave dead or weak batteries in the remote control.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can damage your remote
control.
Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly, do not bury or
burn them.
Using the Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the front of the VCR and press the
desired function buttons.
Using Cable Box Control
Your VCR's Cable Box Control feature lets you make unattended timer
recordings from your cable box or direct-to-home satellite system. (See
"Timer Recording with VCR Plus + System" and "Setting a Timer Program" in
Faxback Doc. # 57217.) When you use this feature, you can record any
programming you subscribe to through cable or satellite services,
including scrambled programs.
You activate Cable Box Control when you select the connection type during
initial setup (see "Setting the On-Screen Language/Connection Type/
Channels/Clock," below). Then, at the time you set to make the timer
recording, your VCR sends remote control signals to change the channel on
the cable box or satellite system to the one you want to record.
The VCR transmits infrared control signals to your cable box or satellite
system in two ways: by bouncing signals off the wall or other surface
facing it, and directly from the infrared transmitter on top of the VCR.
For this feature to operate, you must:
Be sure the front of your VCR is not too far from the wall or other
surface facing it. (The optimal distance varies depending on the
installation.) If the wall or other surface is too far away, or is
covered with signal absorbing material (such as a curtain), the VCR's
signals might not reach the cable box or satellite receiver.
Place your VCR and cable box or satellite receiver near each other, with
a clear "line-of-sight" between them. You might need to adjust the angle
of your cable box or satellite receiver.
Leave your VCR and cable box or satellite system turned on before the
time you set for the recording.
Using The Front Panel Buttons For Menu Selection
Mainly you would use the buttons on the remote control to select and set
various VCR settings, but you can also use the front panel buttons to do
this.
Eject the cassette if loaded, Press CH /\ and CH \/ at the same time to
display the menu. Then use PLAY as /\, STOP as \/, FAST-F as >, and REWIND
as <. When you finish setting, press CH /\ and CH \/ at the same time
again to exit the menu mode.
Initial Setup
Setting the On-Screen Language/Connection Type/Channels/Clock
When you first plug in the VCR and turn it on, when you turn it on after
power was interrupted for longer than 24 hours, or when you reset the
VCR's memory, the VCR prompts you to select a language, then scans for
active channels in your area and stores them.
In many areas, the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) station broadcasts an
electronic data signal (EDS) with its regular broadcast. This signal can
automatically set your VCR's clock to the correct time. If a station in
your area has EDS signals, the VCR automatically sets the clock.
Note: The VCR is preset to automatically set the clock, but you can
change this setting. If no stations in your area broadcast EDS
signals, see "Manually setting the Clock" below.
1. Press POWER to turn on the VCR.
2. Turn on your TV and set it to the same channel as the VCR's 3-CH-4
switch, or select its line input if you connected the VCR to the TV's
audio/video input jacks. Then press TV/VCR so VCR appears. You see:
SELECT LANGUAGE
PUSH VCR CH /\ : ENGLISH

Using The Remote Control With Other Components
In addition to controlling your VCR, the remote control can operate the
basic functions of your TV and cable box or direct-to-home satellite
receiver.
If you followed the steps listed in "Setting the On-Screen Language/
Connection Type/Channels/Clock" above and the VCR successfully tuned the
channel you specified in Step 8 under "Setting the On-Screen Language/
Connection Type/Channels/Clock", that means the remote control is already
programmed to control your equipment. Skip to the paragraph after Step 3
in this section to learn how to use the remote control to operate your
equipment.
If you followed the steps listed in "Setting the On-Screen Language/
Connection Type/Channels/Clock" above and the VCR did not tune the channel
you specified in Step 8, follow the steps below to program the remote
control with the correct manufacturer's code(s) for, and to learn how to
use the remote to operate, your equipment.
Note: Some brands have more than one code listed in the charts. If a
code does not work with your TV, cable box, or direct-to-home
satellite receiver, try another. The listed codes might not work
with all models from the listed manufacturers.

2. While holding down TV, enter the code number for your TV using the
number buttons. Or, while holding down DSS/CABLE enter the code
number for your cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver.
Precede a single-digit code number with a 0 - for example, 01, 02, and
so on. To enter a three-digit number, press 100, then enter the last
digit in the code number.
3. Try operating your TV and cable box or direct-to-home satellite
receiver using the VCR's remote control. First press TV or DSS/CABLE,
then try pressing POWER, INPUT, CH /\ or \/, and VOL +/- for TV
operation; or POWER and CH /\ or \/ for cable box or direct-to-home
satellite receiver operation.
If the device does not function, repeat Step 2 and try other codes for
the manufacturer. If it still does not function, you must use the
original remote control supplied with your TV and cable box or direct
to-home satellite receiver.
To use the remote control, press the button for the device you want to
control - TV, DSS/CABLE, or VCR. Then press the desired function button.
Notes: The codes you programmed might be erased if you remove the
batteries from the remote control (to replace them, for example).
If this happens, re-enter the codes after you replace the
batteries.
Some TVs, cable boxes, and direct-to-home satellite receivers
might require that you manually turn on the power for that device.
Your TV, cable box, or direct-to-home satellite receiver might
have functions that the VCR's remote control will not operate.
You can use the number buttons to select a channel number on your
TV and cable box or direct-to-home satellite receiver. However,
some TVs and cable boxes or direct-to-home satellite receivers
might require that you press DISP/ENT after entering the channel
number.
VOL +/- works to adjust the TV volume in any operation mode (VCR,
TV, or CATV).
When you press TV or DSS/CABLE then POWER, MENU/ACTION, or PROG,
REMOTE CONTROL IS SET TO CABLE/DSS(TV) MODE appears for 5 seconds.
Press VCR to set the remote control to VCR operation mode.
Resetting The VCR's Memory
You can erase all settings (including the time, local channels, and
programmed events) at any time. Eject any loaded tape, then hold down
PLAY and CHANNEL /\ on the VCR for about 5 seconds until it turns itself
off. All settings are cleared.
The next time you turn on the VCR, it performs its initial setup sequence.
See "Setting the On-Screen Language/Connection Type/Channels/Clock" above.
Turning The Automatic Shut-Off ON/OFF
The VCR automatically shuts itself off when it detects a blank portion on
a tape for over 5 minutes, or it receives no signal (except from the line
in jacks) for over 5 minutes. However, you can turn this feature on or
off at any time.
Follow these steps to turn off the auto shut-off.
