Getting Started (Initial Setup) 

 

24

Look at each item to see if it matches your own setup: 

 To change a setting, press the button that has the same number as that item. 

This will cycle you through several options. 

 When everything is set up as you want, press GUIDE to return to regular 

viewing. 

Here is what the options mean: 

1 AUTO BLUE 

Press 1 to control the auto blue function which makes the 

screen blue and mutes sound when you select a channel without a broadcast 
signal on the VCR or a channel without a broadcast signal on the VCR or a 
channel on which broadcasting has finished. Options are <ON> and <OFF>. 

 If the signal is too strong, this function may not operate even if you specifiy 

<ON>. During playback this function does not operate. 

4 HIFI/LINEAR 

Press 4 to control how the audio signal is processed by the 

VCR. Options are <HIFI> and <LINEAR>. 

5 STEREO/MONO  Press 5 to control how the audio signal is recorded and sent 
to the TV. Options are <STEREO> and <MONO>. 

6 SAP  

 

Press 6 when you are ready to record a second audio 

program. Options are <OFF> and <ON>. 

Choose between hi-fi and linear modes, depending on your needs. 
HIFI is the preferred setting because it works for all tapes whether they were 
recorded in hi-fi or linear modes.  If the audio sounds distorted or unusual or 
there is no audio, try the LINEAR option. 
When you set the option to HIFI, hi-fi tapes will play in high fidelity, and  non-hi-fi 
tapes will play in linear mode. 

When you select the STEREO option, your VCR records in stereo any station 
that broadcasts stereo sound.  When a TV channel broadcasts in stereo, you'll 
see a stereo indicator on the TV screen. 
STEREO is the normal factory setting because it works for both stereo and mono 
broadcasts.  It is also necessary for recording a second audio program (SAP). 
When you select MONO, sound is recorded as mono even when a channel 
broadcasts in stereo. 
Use the MONO setting when the stereo signal is not strong enough for quality 
reception (for example, when there is signal drift or noise). 

Hi-Fi sound is the same quality as that of a compact disc player.  Its dynamic 
range of over 90dB will record either stereo or monaural broadcasts with the 
highest quality possible.  Linear sound, on the other hand, will record monaural
