VCR Menu Settings
3. Choose CHANNEL SAVE/SKIP. Each chan-
nel the VCR has found will come up in numerical
sequence. As you press CHANNEL up choose
SKIPPED to delete any weaker channels as
desired. Choose SAVED to keep the channels
with an adequate signal. Repeat this procedure to
eliminate any other weak channels. For example,
if Channel 27 comes in but is too weak for view-
ing, press ADJ so the word SKIPPED appears
next to the weak channel's number.
Press QUIT on the remote control when finished
with the Channel SAVE/SKIP procedure. Now
when you press the CHANNEL UP/DOWN keys
only strong signal channels will be tuned in and
weak ones skipped.
Choosing Channels
The remote control must be set to the VCR
mode to choose channels on the VCR. You can
choose a channel by using either the CHANNEL
UP/DOWN buttons on the VCR or the remote
control, or by using the numbered keys on the
remote control to choose the channel number
directly (32 for example) and pressing ENTER to
switch the VCR Tuner to receive that channel.
The channel number will be shown in the upper
right hand corner of the VCR on-screen display
which will appear momentarily on your TV
screen each time you change channels or initiate
a VCR operation.
VCR Function On-Screen Display
The on-screen display shows the channel you
chose using the VCR tuner, and also the function
the VCR is performing, PLAY, RECORD,
STOP, etc., will be displayed on the TV screen
for a short time.

Power Failures
Occasionally a power failure occurs. The result is
that all the information programmed into the
VCR has to be re-entered. If you were away
when this occurred and notice that the clock time
is missing and -:.... appears, then there was an in-
terruption in electrical service to your VCR.
Error Messages
As you use the menu system, if a problem or con-
flict occurs the menu system alerts you with an
error message on the TV screen, like "No Cas-
sette." For example, if you entered all the infor-
mation for a timed recording and pressed the
TIMER key to set the VCR into TIMER Mode
and no tapewasloadedintothetapeloadingcom-
partment, then that error message would appear
on your TV screen.
