Notes:
¶ Auto channel set function takes place first; it assigns automatically all receivable stations in your area.
¶ Auto clock set function sets the clock automatically by reading the clock setting data from a station transmitting a
PDC signal while auto channel set is being performed.
¶ During auto channel set, the VCR recognizes each station name of the detected stations and stores them in the VCR’s
memory, then automatically sets SHOWVIEW system’s assigned Guide Channel number for those stations according to
the broadcast area.
¶ In the area where to TV station transmits a PDC signal, the VCR can perform neither auto clock set nor auto Guide
Channel number set.
¶ For RF connection users: The VCR detects the channels which are not occupied by local stations and selects one
channel automatically for your Video Channel that is located in the middle of more than 5 vacant channels.
¶ If there is a power cut, or if you press STANDBY/ON, POWER or MENU while Auto Set Up is in progress, Auto Set
Up will be interrupted; be sure to turn off the VCR power once and try again from step 1.

not work properly. If the Guide Channel numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using
the SHOWVIEW system, the VCR will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer
using the SHOWVIEW system, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your VCR receives the
broadcasting station you wish to record is selected. (✈P.29)
7 Your VCR memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality
may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture, see page 18.
7 For RF connection users: In certain reception conditions, the Video Channel may not be set correctly and interference
may appear in the TV picture while the VCR’s power is on. Set your Video Channel manually. (✈P.15)

tor, and when there is no input signal
the VCR stops recording and the power
shuts off.
Before performing the following steps:
• Make sure the satellite tuner is
