The A UTO PROG (Automatic Programming) button
makes it easy and convenient to program TV stations
into the VCR's scan list. The scan list is the list of
channels that your VCR tuner stops on when you
press the CHANNEL A or CHANNEL T button.
The scan list is empty, however, until you program
active channels as described below.
Note: You must program the tuner as described below
before you can use CHANNEL A/T buttons.
Automatic programming is usually a “one-time”
procedure, but you will need to repeat it if you move
to a location that has different channels, or if power is
interrupted.
To program active channels:
1. Turn on VCR by pressing the POWER button.
2. Set the NORM/CA TV switch on the back of the
VCR.

• Set to NORM position if your VCR
connected to a home antenna system.

connected to a cable-TV system.
3. Press and release the A UTO PROG button.

• The tuner will automatically cycle through all
av-aitable channels in the area and place them
in the scan list. This takes about a minute.
The channel numbers will slop changing
w’hen
the tuner is finished cycling.
Programming is now complete and you can
use the CHANNEL A/V buttons to select
channels.
4. If you w’ant to erase or add individual channels
from the scan list, refer to the instructions at the
right.
pErasing Channels from the Scan List---------------
You may want to have only a few favorite channels in
the scan list so you can select them more quickly with
the CHANNEL A and T buttons. (Use the numbered
buttons on the remote control to select channels you
erased from the scan list.)
Occasionally Automatic Programming may include a
vacant channel in the scan list if there happened to be
some son of “noise” or “stray signal” on the channel
when the tuner was programmed. This procedure
explains how to erase any unwanted channels from
the scan list.
1. Use the CHANNEL A or ▼ button to select the
channel that you want to remove from the scan
list.
2. Press ERASE.
3. Repeat the procedure for each channel you want
to erase from the scan list.
•Adding Channels to the Scan List-------------------
You may have erased a channel from the scan list and
w'ant to put it back. Occasionally Automatic
Programming may “miss” an active channel because
the signal is very w'eak or because the channel
happened to be “off the air” when the tuner was
programmed. Use this procedure to put any channel
in the scan list.
1. Use the numbered buttons on the remote
control to select the channel you want to add to
the scan list.
2. Press ADD.
3. Repeat the procedure for each channel you want
to add to the scan list.
Note: Channel 91 is used to access other devices you
may have connected to the A VDIO/ VIDEO IN jacks
on the back of your VCR. You can add Channel 91 to
the channel .'■can list.
1. Press “9” then “1" on the remote control.
2. Press the ADD button on the VCR.
The LINE indicator will appear in the VCR
display when Channel 91 is used to access a device
