Notes:
¶ Auto channel set function takes place first; it assigns automatically all receivable stations in your area.

¶ Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically by reading the clock setting data from a station transmitting a

PDC signal while auto channel set is being performed.

¶ During auto channel set, the VCR recognizes each station name of the detected stations and stores them in the VCR’s

memory, then automatically sets

 VIDEO Plus+ system's 

assigned Guide Program number for those stations according

to the broadcast area.

¶ In the area where no TV station transmits a PDC signal, the VCR can perform neither auto clock set nor auto Guide

Program number set.

¶ For RF connection users: The VCR detects the channels which are not occupied by local stations and selects one

channel automatically for your Video Channel that is located in the middle of more than 5 vacant channels.

¶ If there is a power cut, or if you press STANDBY/ON, VCR POWER or MENU while Auto Set Up is in progress, Auto

Set Up will be interrupted; be sure to turn off the VCR power once and try again from step 1.

¶ Auto clock may not function properly depending on the reception condition.

IMPORTANT
7 In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Programme Number Set

may not work properly. If the Guide Programme numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV
programme usi

ng VIDEO Plus+ system

, the VCR will record a TV programme of a different station. When

programming the timer using

 VIDEO Plus+ system

, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your

VCR receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected. (

P.29)

7 Your VCR memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality

may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture, see page 16.

7 For RF connection users: In certain reception conditions, the Video Channel may not be set correctly and interference

may appear in the TV picture while the VCR’s power is on. Set your Video Channel manually. (

P.14)

¶ If “– –:– –” appears, both Auto Channel Set and Auto Clock Set have failed.

Make sure the TV antenna cable is connected correctly and press OK to re-perform the Auto Set Up.

Press OK.

If the correct current time is displayed on the display window, the Auto Channel Set and Clock Set
have been completed successfully. Go to step 4.

If “1” (channel position) is displayed on the display window, the Auto Clock Set has not completed
(only the Auto Channel Set has). Go to step 4 and then perform “Clock Setting” manually. (

P.20)

¶ You can check if the Guide Programme numbers have been set correctly when you perform

 VIDEO Plus+ Timer

Recording (

P.29); if the correct channel position number is displayed on

 VIDEO Plus+ 

Programme screen, this

confirms that the Guide Programme number for the

 PlusCode nu

mber you enter has been set correctly.

Press PROG. +/– to make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the VCR’s memory.

¶ If station names (ID) (

P.18) have also been stored in the VCR’s memory, the station name will be displayed at the

top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the VCR is tuned to a different station.

¶ If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change channel positions, or to set station

names, see pages 16–17.

¶ If no station is stored in the VCR’s memory, make sure the TV antenna cable is connected correctly and turn off the

VCR power once, then turn it back on again. Re-perform from Preparation on page 11.
