Hi, my name is SUSAN...
and I wrote this User’s Guide. It’s my job to see that
you have a rewarding user manual experience. Also, I
think you’ll be pleased with the features that can be
accessed through the on-screen menus.
Read the First Three Sections
The first three sections of the manual introduce you to
your VCR, and show you how to set the VCR up and
use the on-screen menus. Reading these sections
gives you the basic information you need to use your
VCR.
What’s Left?
The rest of the book highlights playback and recording
information, contains a detailed connections section,
and a reference section that includes troubleshooting
tips, limited warranty, and index.
READ ME!
These note boxes give you tips for
your new video cassette recorder.
