Using On-Screen Menus
Auto TV/VCR
To control whether the VCR’s TV/VCR setting changes automatically to VCR-
viewing mode when turned on, use the Auto TV/VCR setting.
To Access Auto TV/VCR:
In the PREFERENCES menu, press 3 repeatedly to toggle between Auto TV/VCR:
ON and OFF.
Note: Pressing the TV•VCR button on the remote control will switch
between VCR and TV-viewing modes. When in VCR-viewing mode, VCR is
displayed on the front panel. The VCR indicator turns off when in TV-
viewing mode.
• Select ON to switch VCR-viewing mode on automatically when the power is
turned on. The VCR must be connected to the TV using the supplied RF
coaxial cable.
• Select OFF to remain in the TV-viewing mode when the VCR is initially
turned on. 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 one, two, or three
hours of inactivity.
Thirty seconds before automatically shutting off, the VCR displays 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 view channels, you may want
to turn off this feature.
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.
