First Things First
3
Welcome To Your New VCR...
To help you get started using your VCR with
as little reading possible, we’ve put all the basic
information needed in the first three sections.
To help you along, there’s even an initial setup feature the
first time you turn on your VCR which walks you through
several set up steps at once.
Getting Started
Before this first step, though, learning about
the time and date, your remote control’s features, working
with channels, and basic video tape operations are
essential to get all you can out
of the VCR. Once you are comfortable with these features,
feel free to refer to other sections because they cover the
more detailed information.
What Remains?
The final sections of this manual contain
playback and recording information, a detailed connections
section, and a reference section including troubleshooting
tips, warranty information, and an index.
READ ME!
These note boxes give you tips for
your new video cassette recorder.
