PM

Plug & Play CompletedThe current time (includingAM/PM) is displayed.

During Initial Auto Clock Set"Auto" blinks.

During Auto Channel SetThe channel numbers are displayedas they are scanned and set.

* If an incorrect time or "– –:– –" appears on the display panel, see "What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed" on next page.

ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUBSCRIBERSTo perform the Plug & Play procedure . . .● Connect your cable box to your VCR with the RF cable.● Select the PBS channel on your cable box before plugging your VCR's power plug into the AC outlet.( If Plug & Play is not

successful you may have to select an alternative PBS channel if another is available in your area.)● If there is no PBS channel in your area, or if Plug & Play is not successful, perform the Manual Clock Set procedure (Z pg.

13).● For automatic clock adjustment to take place the VCR's power must be off and the cable box must be set to the PBS channel

at clock adjustment times.● If you perform Plug & Play successfully, D.S.T. will be set to “AUTO”. At the D.S.T. adjustment time (Z pg. 13), your VCR's

power must be off and your cable box must be set to the host PBS channel in your area for the D.S.T. adjustment to take place.If the clock is not set correctly, change the D.S.T. setting to “ON” or “OFF. See step 9 of Semi-Auto procedure (Z pg. 13) orstep 6 of Manual procedure (Z pg. 13).

EN 9INFORMATION● If "AUTO CLOCK SET" or "SEMI-AUTO CLOCK SET" is selected at the Override Auto Clock Set screen on page 12, the clock

will be adjusted automatically by the host channel every hour on the hour (except for 11:00 PM, midnight, 1:00 AM and 2:00AM) by the incoming PBS channel clock setting data. (This automatic clock adjustment can only be performed when the VCR’spower is turned off. The clock will be adjusted on the hour based on the time displayed on the VCR, not on the actual realtime.) The default setting is "AUTO CLOCK SET".

● If the memory backup fails, because of a power outage or because the AC was removed from the VCR, Plug & Play will beperformed when power is restored to the VCR.

What To Do If Plug & Play Has Failed● If an incorrect time is displayed on the front display panel, you may be receiving the clock setting data of a PBS channel from

an adjacent time zone, or an incorrect PBS channel from a cable TV system. In this case, perform the Semi-Auto (Z pg. 12) orManual Clock Set (Z pg. 13) procedure. Auto channel set has already taken place and it need not be set again.

● If “- -:- -” appears on the display, your antenna cable may not be connected to the VCR, there may not be a Host PBS signalavailable in your area, or your cable box may not be set to the PBS channel. Ensure that the antenna cable is connected correctly. Ifyou use a cable box ensure that your local PBS channel is selected on your cable box (Z pg. 8 ATTENTION CABLE BOX SUB-SCRIBERS). Then power on and power off the VCR; the Plug & Play function will be automatically reactivated and "Auto" will bedisplayed on the VCR's front panel. If Plug & Play is not performed but everything is connected and set correctly, perform theManual Clock Set procedure (Z pg. 13).

The VCR Plus+ timer programming system eliminates the needto input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting thetimer record function. Simply key in the PlusCode number forthe TV program you wish to record and the VCR's timer will beautomatically programmed. (The PlusCodes are the numbersnext to the programs in most TV listings.)

TV and cable stations can be received on different channelnumbers depending on the area where they are received.Therefore to ensure that VCR Plus+Timer Recording operatescorrectly it may be necessary to set the VCR Plus+ "GuideChannel Set " for certain stations. Please read the followinginformation carefully to find out which tasks you need toperform.

Before VCR Plus+ setup you must have performed the followingprocedures:● Plug & Play (Z pg. 8)

orClock setting (Z pg. 11) and Tuner setting (Z pg. 14)

● Cable box setting if you receive your TV channels through acable box (Z pg. 17)

VCR Plus+ Guide Channel MatchingVCR Plus+ assigns a VCR Plus+ "Guide Channel" to broadcastand cable TV channels. These Guide Channel numbers are alsocalled the VCR Plus+ Channel Codes. Most TV listings have asection, usually a chart, indicating the "Guide Channel" numbersassigned to each station. For accurate VCR Plus+ Programmingthe VCR Plus+ Guide Channel number for each station shouldmatch the channel number on which it is received in your area.

If the numbers match, go directly to “VCR Plus+ TimerProgramming” (Z pg. 42).

If the numbers are different, and you want to be able to timerrecord programs from those stations, you have to inform theVCR of the mismatch. Go to step 1. If you will not want to timerrecord from those stations, you can go directly to “VCR Plus+Timer Programming” (Z pg. 42).

NOTES:● In many instances the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers for

cable and broadcast TV stations DO NOT match the channelnumber on which it is received by your VCR or cable box.Check your TV listing, or contact your cable supplier fordetails.

● If the VCR Plus+ Guide Channel numbers do not match, thewrong VCR/CABLE CH number will be displayed on theProgram Screen when you enter the PlusCode for VCR Plus+Programming. If this occurs set the correct VCR Plus+ GuideChannel to match this number.

● Many broadcast TV stations can be viewed on cable. Checkyour TV listing, or contact your cable supplier for details.
