Setting up the VCR with the Auto Set Up function

Step 5 : Setting up the VCR with the Auto 
Set Up function

Before using the VCR for the first time, set up the VCR using the Auto Set Up 
function.  With this function, you can set the TV channels, guide channels for the 
ShowView system*, and VCR clock* automatically.  

Hold down REGLAGE AUTO on the VCR for more than three seconds.

The VCR automatically turns on, starts searching for all of the receivable 
channels, and presets them in the appropriate order for your local area 
(according to the TV system you selected in “Tuning your TV to the 
VCR”).

If you want to change the order of the channels or disable unwanted 
programme positions, see “Changing/disabling programme positions” on 
page 25.

If you use the SMARTLINK connection (not available on SLV-SE600B), 
the Preset Download function starts and the SMARTLINK indicator flashes 
in the display window during download.

After the search or download is complete, the current time appears in the 
display window for any stations that transmit a time signal (not available on 
SLV-SE600B).  If the time does not appear, set the clock manually (see page 
31
).
