Video channel
If your TV already has a preset video channel, this channel
should be used to assure the best sound and picture quality.
As this channel varies from country to country, you should
check your TV's operator’s manual to see which is the video
channel for your TV.
When a video/audio connection cord is used for con-
nection of the VCR and TV (refer to “Connections”),
setting the video channel is not necessary, in this
case simply set the TV’s TV/VCR switch to VCR. —
This VCRis preset to channel 36 (UHF) and if your TV’s
video channel is also 36 (UHF), no adjustments are
necessary. d
If UHF channel 36 is being used for broadcasting:
You can set the TV to a channel between UHF channels 30-39
and tune the VCR into that channel.
1 Insert a prerecorded tape into the VCR and press the
play > button.
2 Set the TV to a blank channel between UHF 30-39.
3 Siowiy adjust the RF.OUT CH.ADJ. screw on the rear
panel until the playback picture appears.
If you do not have a prerecorded tape, adjust the
screw until the screen becomes clear black (no in-
terference).
This is now your video channel.

TV/VCR mode
When the VCR is connected to your TV with a SCART audio/
video cable (see “Connections”) it can automatically switch
between the TV and VIDEO mode of your TV. This VCR will
automatically be set to the VCR mode when it is turned on
(“VCR’ will light on the FL display) ready for VCR operation
(playback picture viewing etc.).
This means that if you are watching a TV programme when the
VCR is turned off, when you turn the VCR on the TV picture will
change to the channel selected on the VCR.
Note:
© If the VCR and TV are only connected using the antenna
connections (RF IN/OUT), there will be no change when the
VCR is turned on, however, you have to set the TV to the
video channel to watch videos etc..
If you want to change the VCR so that it is set to the TV mode
each time the power is turned on (so that it doesn’t interfere
with normal TV viewing if you turn it on just to rewind a tape
etc.) follow the step below.
@ Press the front panel CHANNEL / button (when the
power is off) until “VCR” flashes on the FL display then
disappears.
To reset to the VCR mode, repeat the operation until “VCR”
appears on the FL. display.
