3.0 QUICK START
3.1 BASIC START
1. Decide where to locate the VCR. Do all system hookups first (camera, multi-
plexer, etc.) if you are installing the VCR in a location where you cannot ac-
cess its rear panel.
2. Connect the VCR to other equipment (Sections 4.2 and 4.3).
3. Plug in the VCR and press the POWER button. You should see the time and
date displayed on the monitor.
4. To reset the time/date (First Time Set Up menu), see Section 6.10.2. Skip if
you do not want to reset the time/date.
5. Put in a T-120 or T-160 tape, refer to Table C for recording times. Set the
appropriate tape length if you want the approximate tape remaining indicator
to work correctly (Section 6.10.2). If not, skip.
6. Put the VCR in the recording mode you want by pressing the REC/PLAY (+)
and (-) buttons. Watch the fluorescent display. Set to 2H, 6H, L18, 72H, or
96H.
7. Press REC to begin recording.
8. Press STOP to stop. Turn the SHUTTLE ring right to fast forward and left to
rewind. Press PLAY to play back the tape.
9. Refer to Section 11.1 for initial system testing information.

tion 8.3.4).
