Hi, my name is Roger...
and I wrote this User’s Guide. It’s my job to see
that you have a rewarding user manual experience.
You’ll find that I’ve arranged this manual to clearly
explain all your VCR’s features.
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.

Step 1: Unpack What’s in the Box
The following items come packed in the box:
• VCR
• Remote control
• RF antenna cable
STEP 2: Install Batteries In the
Remote Control
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change the
batteries in your VCR remote.
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place batteries in remote, matching the + and – ends of each
battery to the diagram inside the compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
STEP 3: Connect your vcr
If you connect your VCR to your home antenna or cable system
and then to your TV, use the VCR’s IN FROM ANTENNA and OUT
TO TV jacks for a good signal as shown.
If you have a TV with AUDIO/VIDEO jacks, use these jacks for a
better connection. In order to hear stereo and hi-fi sound from
the VCR, the audio/video jacks must be used. Refer to the
Connections section, toward the back of the manual.
STEP 4: PLUG IN THE VCR
Match the wide blade of the plug with the wide slot in the
outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely.
