Using On-Screen Menus
Auto TV/VCR
To control whether the TV/VCR setting changes automatically to the VCR mode
when the VCR is turned on, use the Auto TV/VCR setting.
To Access Auto TV/VCR:
1. In the PREFERENCES menu, press 3 repeatedly to toggle between Auto TV/
VCR: ON and OFF.
Note: Pressing TV•VCR on the remote control will still switch between the VCR
and TV modes. When in VCR mode, VCR is displayed on the front panel. The
VCR indicator turns off when in TV mode.
• Select ON to switch VCR mode on automatically when the unit’s power
is turned on. The VCR must be connected to the TV using the supplied
RF coaxial cable.
• To remain in the TV mode when the VCR is turned on, select OFF.
Leaving Auto TV/VCR off is useful if you use A/V cables to connect the
VCR to the TV and you watch the VCR’s picture using the TV’s Video
Line Input. This way, the antenna/cable signal will not be interrupted
by the VCR.
EnergySaver
By default, the VCR automatically turns off after two hours of inactivity. This can
be changed in the PREFERENCES menu by pressing the 4 button repeatedly to
change the time delay or to disable the feature altogether.
• Select OFF and the VCR will stay on until you shut it off.
• Select 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 and the VCR will turn off after a corresponding
one, two, or three hours of inactivity.
Thirty seconds before shutting off, the VCR will warn you with an on-screen
message reading, The VCR will turn off in 30 seconds. Press any key to cancel.
Pressing any remote control or VCR front panel button will halt the countdown.
If you use the VCR’s tuner instead of your TV to tune channels, you may want to
turn this feature off.
Front Panel Brightness (VCR Display)
You can change the brightness level of the VCR’s front panel display. In the
PREFERENCES menu, press the 5 button repeatedly to toggle between options:
• AUTO means the display brightens when the VCR is on and dims when
the VCR is off.
• BRIGHT keeps the display bright whether the VCR is on or off.
• DIM keeps the display at a low brightness level whether the VCR is on
or off.
