2) Select the Signal that’s connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA
INPUT jack
Completing this information lets the DVD/VCR know what program signals are being sent to it.
Choose the type of signal that is connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack. Press the
right arrow button to access the choices:
Notes: If you’ve connected a cable box or satellite receiver to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack,
turn on the cable box or satellite receiver before completing this step.
If you’ve connected a satellite receiver to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack, choose Antenna
Only for this step.
Cable-Antenna (cable service)
Antenna Only (no cable service, just off-air antenna)
Note: If the DVD/VCR doesn’t start searching for channels after you’ve selected the type
of signal connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack, press the down arrow button to
highlight Done and press OK.
3) Channel Search
The DVD/VCR automatically scans the signal coming through the cable connected to the CABLE/
ANTENNA INPUT jack and prepares the channel list. The channel list determines what channels
appear when you press the CH+ and CH- buttons.
A progress indicator appears on the TV screen. When the Channel Search reaches 100%, press
OK (the Channel List appears). If the Channel List doesn’t appear, check the CABLE/ANTENNA
INPUT jack to make sure the cable is connected properly.
Note: If you are using only a cable box or satellite receiver, there will be few, if any, channels in
the channel list.

4) Channel List
The Channel List contains the channels you tune to when you press the CH+ and CH- (channel
up and channel down) buttons on the remote control. From the Channel List screen, you can
delete channels you rarely watch. You’ll still be able to tune to the “deleted” channels directly by
using the number buttons on the remote control, but the DVD/VCR won’t tune to a channel you
delete when you press the CH+/CH- buttons on the remote control.
Use the arrow buttons to scroll through the channels. A checkmark in the box next to the
channel means it has been stored in the channel list. Highlight the channel and press OK to check
or uncheck the box. You can also label channels by pressing the INFO button.
To skip editing the channel list, press STOP.
5) Time Zone
Use the down arrow button to highlight your time zone, and press OK (the Daylight Savings Time
screen appears).
6) Daylight Savings Time
If you live an area that recognizes Daylight Savings Time, press OK (the DVD/VCR’s internal clock
will automatically advance the time by 1 hour in the spring and set the clock back by 1 hour in
the fall).
If you live in an area that doesn’t use Daylight Savings Time, press the right arrow button to
highlight No, and press OK.
