Tuning of broadcast channels not already preset in the
VCR/DVD can be performed in two ways.

Automatic Channel Preset
• By “AUTOMATICALLY” tuning channels and placing them

in sequential order in the VCR/DVD’s memory i.e. the first
channel found will be memorised into the VCR/DVD’s
channel position 1, the second channel found will be mem-
orised into the VCR/DVD’s channel position 2 and so on.

• Execution of the “Automatic” Channel presetting cancels all

the preset channels. DO NOT use this feature if you intend
to use some of the pre-tuned channels. Use the “Manual”
channel presetting function to tune in the additional chan-
nels you require.

Manual Channel Preset
Each channel is tuned manually and individually. Follow the
steps laid out in the “Manual Channel Preset”.

Before you preset Channel...
• It is necessary to set the video channel if your VCR/DVD is

connected to the TV via the round coaxial cable, and TV
channel 35 is set for broadcasting, or interference lines
appear on the picture. Please refer to “Video Channel
Setting”.

You can programme the tuner to scan all the channels you
can receive in your area.
