Storing TV Broadcasts in Your VCR

The VCR is fitted with its own tuner (just like a normal TV) and 
can be preset to receive up to 99 TV broadcast stations.

Pre-programmed TV Channels
(NV-HV60GL/Australia)

The local TV broadcast channels 2, 7, 9, 10 and 28 are 
factory-preset in this VCR.

That is, if you can receive television broadcasts on VHF 
channels 2, 7, 9, 10 and UHF channel 28, these are already 
tuned on the programme positions with the matching 
numbers. However, it is possible to cancel these settings and 
tune the local TV broadcast channels to any desired 
programme position.

Plug in Auto Tuning 
(NV-HV60GN/New Zealand)

When the VCR is turned on after connecting the aerial cable 
and the mains lead, Auto Tuning starts.

Auto tuning searches for TV stations from VHF minimum to 
UHF maximum and memorizes every tuned programme 
position.
• If you turn the VCR off during Auto Tuning, Auto Tuning will 

stop halfway.

• If the VCR starts playback during Auto Tuning, Auto Tuning 

will stop halfway.
