on the screen will show you where your input is needed. 

 When you want to leave the Easy Guide System, simply press GUIDE 

several times.  This will back you out to the normal TV viewing screen. 

 If you don't press any button for a while, the VCR will switch you back to 

an earlier screen or to regular TV viewing. 

Before you use your VCR to watch or record from your TV, you need to "tell" 
the VCR whether your TV uses cable or antenna input and let it program 
itself to receive your TV's channels.  It's also a good idea to set the clock so

them both on and follow these steps using the remote control. 

Press GUIDE, then press 4 to bring up the Initial Setup screen.  

 

The screen shows the default settings on your VCR.  The default settings are

the power goes out for more than 1 hour - for example, during a storm or 
when you unplug the VCR.

item.  This will cycle you through several options. 

 When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE again to back out of 

the Easy Guide System. 
You need to set items 1 and 7 the first time you set up your VCR and any 
time you have a lengthy power outage.  The rest of the items can be set later 
as needed. 

Here is what the options mean:
