First Things First
Hi, My Name Is Susan ...
And I wrote this User's Guide. It's my job to see that you have a
rewarding user manual experience. And, I think you'll be pleased with the
features that can be accessed through the on-screen menus.
Read The First Three Sections
The first three sections of the manual introduce you to your VCR, and show
you how to set the VCR up and use the on-screen menus. Reading these
sections gives you the basic information you need to use your VCR.
What's Left?
The rest of the book highlights playback and recording information,
contains a detailed connections section, and a reference section that
includes troubleshooting tips, limited warranty, and index.
READ ME!
These note boxes give you tips for your new video cassette recorder.
Step 1: Unpack What's In The Box.
The following items come packed in the box:
VCR
Remote Control
RF coaxial cable
Step 2: Install Batteries In The Remote Control.
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the batteries in
your VCR remote.
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place the batteries in the remote, matching the (+) and (-) ends of
each battery to the diagram inside the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
Step 3: Connect Your VCR
If you connect your VCR to your home antenna or cable system and then to
your TV, use the VCR's IN FROM ANT. and OUT TO TV jacks for a good signal.
If you have a TV with AUDIO/VIDEO jacks, use the jacks for a better
connection. Refer to the Connections section, in Faxback Doc. # 61861.
Step 4: Plug In The VCR
Match the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the outlet. Be
sure to insert the plug completely.
Step 5: Tune The TV
Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel. The VCR viewing channel is channel
3 or 4 or the TV's video input.
If you connect your VCR using the ANTENNA connectors with RF coaxial
cable, set the (3 CH 4) switch to channel 3 or channel 4 - the channel
you want to use on your TV.
If you connect your VCR using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks with audio/video
cables, select the TV's video input to see the signal. See the TV
Owner's Manual.
Step 6: Turn On The VCR
The first time you connect your VCR and turn it on, a menu screen appears.
This is the beginning of the QuickSet Guide which helps you to set up
specific features of the VCR. If you choose not to use this Guide, you
can set up each feature individually.
Go to the next step to understand how to move through and change items in
the menu system.
VCR Viewing Channel
When using the IN FROM ANT. and OUT TO TV jacks to connect your VCR, tune
your TV to channel 3 or 4.

TV's video input.
