1. Insert the cassette, arrow-side forward, into the slot at the front of the 
VCR. The power comes on automatically and the tape indicator lights on the 
display. 
2. Turn on the TV and select the video channel (3 or 4) using the number 
buttons of the TV's remote control. 
3. Press PLAY to start the tape. 
4. Press STOP to end play. 
Direct Video Input to the TV 
Normally you would select channel 3 or 4 on the TV to receive a signal from 
the VCR.  You can get an even better picture if your TV has an auxiliary 
video input feature and if the TV and VCR have a direct video-to-video 
hookup.  If this is the case, do not select channel 3 or 4.  Instead: 
 Press the AUX or VIDEO button on the TV's remote control to select the 
proper input channel for playback. 
To Fine Tune the Picture 
Auto Tracking 
Pressing PLAY starts the auto tracking feature, which adjusts the tuning to 
eliminate static lines that may appear on the screen. 
Manual Tracking 
Scratched tapes or poorly recorded tapes may require additional picture 
adjustment.  You can do this with the remote control.  Press either 1 or 4 
button until picture clears up. 
After operating the tracking manually, eject the tape and reinsert it to 
reactivate auto tracking. 
 
If you press the DISPLAY button when viewing a videocassette, the display,
