Recording Changing Entertainment. Again. 15708270 (VR661HF)(E) 04 Setup 2/7/01, 4:55 PM Connections & Setup Things to Consider Before Connecting Components Protect Components From Power Surges • Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. • Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables. Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference • Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks. • Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the back after connecting components. • Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as possible. • Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit for detailed information. Protect Components From Overheating • Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. • Do not stack components. • Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand. • Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components. Cable Considerations The RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR carries both sound and picture information. This is the cable used in all connection diagrams illustrated in this chapter. If your TV has A/V input jacks, you should use A/V cables (not supplied) to connect the VCR to the TV. A/V cables provide better picture and sound quality than an RF coaxial cable. If you would like to hook up your VCR using A/V cables, refer to the Advanced Connection information on page 58 in the Other Information chapter of the manual. 15708270 (VR661HF)(E) 04 Setup Chapter 1 2/7/01, 4:55 PM Connections & Setup Using the RF Coaxial Cable to Connect the VCR to a TV This graphic shows the RF coaxial cable supplied with your VCR. This will be the cable used for the basic connections represented in this chapter. Notes: To hear stereo sound, you will need to purchase Audio/Video (A/V) cables (not provided) and connect the VCR to the TV. A/V jacks and cables also provide a superior image and sound quality. For details about using this advanced setup, see the instructions on page 58. RF Coaxial Cable Using A/V jacks to connect the VCR to the TV requires tuning to the TV’s Video Line Input to see the VCR’s picture. For more information about finding your TV’s Video Line Input, see page 57. If you prefer, we can provide you with the name of an Authorized Service Representative who will visit your home for a fee to install your electronic entertainment system and to instruct you in its operation. For details about this service, call 1-888-206-3359. Choose Your Connection There are several ways to hook up your VCR depending on the components connected.

Using Auto Clock Set enables the time to be updated each time the VCR is turned off by using time and date information carried in certain broadcast signals. Auto Clock Set Feature The Auto Clock Set feature is set to ON by default at the factory. In the ON setting, the VCR looks for a channel carrying time data and updates the clock automatically.

Once recording is finished, the VCR rewinds the tape to the beginning of the recording and determines where the commercials are located. It then marks the beginning and end of the detected commercial segments, and when finished, returns the tape to the end of the recording. It does not erase commercials from the tape. During playback, the VCR automatically skips the detected commercial segments, or you can chose to manually skip them. This feature reduces three minutes of commercials to approximately 8-12 seconds of fast forwarding in the SLP speed. You can select a background display of blue or see the video as the commercials are skipped. Because television signals do not indicate where commercials are located, this feature finds and marks them through a set of formulas based on how television is broadcast today. Since television stations broadcast differently and insert their own commercials, you may experience some variations in this feature’s effectiveness. Station promotions, identifications, and announcements are not considered commercials, but might be skipped. For more information, see “Questions and Answers About COMMERCIAL ADVANCE ” in the Reference section. All of the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE features are accessed through the COMMERCIAL ADVANCE menu.

When using Timer Recordings to tape two back-to-back programs on the same channel, you may want to program each show separately so that the beginnings and ends of programs are not automatically skipped by COMMERCIAL ADVANCE.
