Setting Up Your VCR
12 Turn on the VCR the next day. When you set your TV’s input to view the VCR
picture, you will see one of the following messages:
– Setup Completed
– Press MENU to see the message of AllSet
– Setup failed
Setup Completed means ALLSET has successfully completed the setup procedure
and set the VCR Plus+ system for recording. Press MENU to clear the screen.
Press MENU to see the message of AllSet means that you need to perform one
more operation before ALLSET can complete the setup procedure. Press MENU to
see the full message as shown here.
This message is displayed when there is more than one cable company servicing
your zip code area. In these situations, there will be more than one channel lineup
and your VCR may not be able to identify which is the correct lineup for your home.
To select the correct channel lineup:
1 Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. You will see the first lineup screen,
Lineup1, which will show selected key stations.
• Guide column shows the selected stations’ call letters or network name.
• VCRCH column shows the channel numbers used for the selected stations
by one of the local cable companies.
Note: As the VCR’s memory is limited, the Guide column may not display
call letters completely.
2 Turn the ADJUST dial to cycle through the other possible lineups, Lineup2,
Lineup3 and so forth, until you find the lineup that matches your cable
company.
3 Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right. The screen will instruct you to turn the
VCR off so that ALLSET can complete the setup overnight. Leave the VCR
turned off overnight and check it the next morning for the Setup Completed
display.
If the correct lineup is not displayed or you see Setup failed, the VCR cannot set
up the VCR␣ Plus+ guide channel numbers automatically. Set them manually when
you program your VCR to record with VCR Plus+ system. (See page 42.)
Setup failed means an error has prevented ALLSET from properly setting up the
VCR Plus+ guide channel numbers. This is normally caused by one of the follow-
ing reasons:
• You entered an invalid zip code for your area. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the
right to return to the zip code screen and re-enter the correct zip code. Try
the setup again and do not turn on the VCR until after 7:00 am the next day.
• You entered a new zip code that ALLSET is not ready to use. Turn the shuttle
ring to the right to return to the zip code screen and re-enter your old zip
code. Try the setup again and do not turn on the VCR until after 7:00 am the
next day.
• You turned on the VCR and interrupted the ALLSET procedure before it was
completed. ALLSET completes the setup normally between midnight and
7:00 am. Try the setup again and do not turn on the VCR until after 7:00 am
the next day.
•ALLSET information is not broadcast in your area. You will need to set the
VCR Plus+ Guide channel manually when you program your VCR to record
with VCR Plus+ system.
