These numbers are located on the back of the VCR. Keep this manual and numbers near your VCR for quick reference or in case you should have to call for help. This owner's manual is designed for you. To h.elp you, keep this color principle in mind: Blue is for Beginning, Green is for Getting Acquainted, Tan is for Taking on More, and Black is for Back-Up Information. Blue is for Beginning Green is for Getting Acquainted The headlines and first letters in the second section are green. This says buttons and important areas of your VCR and remote control are highlighted and briefly discussed here. This section is for quick reference and can be used at any time.

This says there is additional information here you can look at when you have a question. Or if you're just curious. Definitions are here. So are accessories, other ways of hooking up your VCR, and an index that helps you find information more quickly. Black is for Back-Up Information. Numbered The headlines and first (large) letters of introduction in this opening section are blue. This says you are at the beginning. The features discussed on these pages are interrelated. To get the most enjoyment out of your VCR you should do everything in the Blue section.

Steps and Shaded Areas Also remember: numbered steps and blue-shaded areas in this manual are the steps necessary to complete a task. You must do all the blue-shaded areas for each feature to accomplish that feature. There are, however, tan-shaded areas. These areas tell you how to cancel or alter a feature you have set up. Clear-shaded areas in boxes provide additional information you may find helpful. The color principle is the same: Blue for Beginning and Tan for Taking on More.
