More About Channel Selections
Your VCR is capable of receiving 68 broadcast TV channels (VHF 2-13, UHF 14-69) and 125
cable channels (CATV 1-125).
When you press 6 on the Initial Setup screen, the tuner automatically cycles through all available
channels in your area and places them in memory. This takes 2-3 minutes. You can watch the
progress on your VCR's display – when the channel numbers stop changing, programming is
complete.
n In some areas channels cannot be switched when CATV1 is selected. Then, select CATV2 in
your Initial Setup screen.
n For convenience, the TV channel numbers should match those programmed into the VCR. If
your TV has automatic channel programming, set it on the same mode – ANT, CATV1, or
CATV2 – and let it reprogram to match the VCR.
Once channels are preset, you can use the up and down CHANNEL buttons to move through the
active channels. Or you can press the number buttons to move quickly between channels that are
far apart.
