CAMCORDER CONNECTIONS
Your Model 62 VCR has jacks on its front panel that let you easily connect a camcorder or other
video source. You can also connect a camcorder to the 
AUDIO IN and VIDEO IN jacks on the back
panel of your Model 112/113 VCR.
You need a stereo A/V cable (not supplied) with plugs that fit the VCR’s jacks and the camcorder’s
jacks for this connection.
1. Insert the plugs at one end of the cable into the 
AV 2 AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks on the Model
62’s front panel.
2. Insert the plugs at the other end of the cable into the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks on your cam-
corder or other video source. Be sure to connect VIDEO to VIDEO and AUDIO to AUDIO (use
the plug’s color codes as a guide).
CONNECTING POWER
To power the VCR, plug its power cord into a standard AC outlet. --:-- appears on the display.
Note: 
The VCR starts to search for a channel that 
has an Extended Data Service (EDS) signal
(see “Turning On Auto Clock Set” on Page 17) 
when:
• You plug in the VCR for the first time.
• You unplug the VCR and reconnect it (within 24 hours) or after a power failure (of less than 24
hours).
• You reset the VCR’s memory (see “Resetting the VCR’s Memory” on Page 18).

VCR SETUP 
SETTING THE VCR’S OUTPUT 
CHANNEL SWITCH
If you connected the VCR’s OUT TO TV termi-
nal to a TV or another VCR, set 
3-CH-4 on the
back of the VCR to 
3 or 4, whichever is not an
active channel in your area.
When VCR appears on the display, the VCR
sends the signal from the video source con-
nected to its 
IN FROM ANTENNA or AUDIO IN 1/
VIDEO IN 1 
(or AV 2  for the Model 62) terminals
to the TV on the channel you selected.
Note: Setting 
3-CH-4 has no effect on the TV
when the VCR is off or if you connected a TV
with separate audio/video input jacks to the
VCR’s 
AUDIO 1/VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
REMOTE CONTROL
Installing Batteries
The remote control requires two AA batteries
(not supplied). For the longest operation and
best performance, we recommend alkaline bat-
teries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-557).
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.
1. Press the tab on the battery compartment
cover and lift off the cover in the direction
of the arrow.2. Put fresh batteries in the compartment, as
indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Note: When the remote control stops working
or operates poorly, replace both batteries.
Cautions:
• Never leave dead or weak batteries in the
remote control. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can damage your remote control.
• Dispose of dead batteries promptly and
properly; do not bury or burn them.
Using the Remote Control
To use the remote control, aim it at the front of
the VCR and press the desired function but-
tons.

INITIAL SET UP
Setting the On-Screen Language/
Channels/Clock
When you first plug in the VCR and turn it on,
when you turn it on after power was interrupted
for longer than 24 hours, or when you reset the
VCR’s memory, the VCR prompts you to select
a language, then scans for active channels in
your area and stores them. 
In many areas, the Public Broadcasting Ser-
vice (PBS) station broadcasts an electronic
data signal (EDS) with its regular broadcast.
This signal can automatically set your VCR’s
clock to the correct time. If a station in your
area has EDS signals, the VCR automatically
sets the clock.
Notes: 
• The VCR is preset to automatically set the
clock, but you can change it. See “Turning
On Auto Clock Set” on Page 17.
• If no stations in your area broadcast EDS
signals, you can set the clock manually.
See “Manually Setting the Clock” on
Page 16 for more information.
1. Press 
POWER to turn on the VCR.
2. Turn on your TV and set it to the same
channel as the VCR’s 
3-CH-4 switch or
select its line input if you connected the
VCR to the TV’s audio/video input jacks.
Then press 
TV/VCR so VCR appears.
3. Select the on-screen instruction language:
press 
CH 
s for English, CH 
t for Spanish, or
TV/VCR for French.4. When the following appears on the TV
screen, set it to the local PBS station if you
have a cable box, then press 
CH 
s. (If you
do not have a cable box, simply press 
CH
s
).
After you press 
CH 
s, the VCR scans
through the channels and memorizes all
the active channels in your area. 
Note:
 If you have already set the channels
and just want to manually set the clock,
press 
MENU to skip tuner programming.
Then see “Manually Setting the Clock” on
Page 16 to set the clock.
5. When the VCR finishes scanning and stor-
ing channels, it searches for an EDS signal
and shows the following on the TV screen:
It takes up to 10 minutes for the VCR to set
the clock using the EDS signal. If the VCR
finds an EDS signal, it automatically sets
its clock to the correct time.
If the VCR does not detect an EDS signal
within this time, press 
STOP then see
“Manually Setting the Clock” on Page 16 to
set the clock.
Notes:
 
• Your VCR protects tuner programming
for up to 24 hours in case a power failure
occurs or if the power cord becomes
unplugged. After about 24 hours without
power, the VCR loses the tuner pro-
gramming.

source through the 
IN FROM ANT termi-
nal, the VCR does not store any channel
in memory. Instead, the VCR displays
the following on the TV screen:
Manually Setting the Clock
Follow these steps to manually set the clock if
EDS is not available in your area, or if you
skipped tuner programming.
Notes: 
• The clock must be accurately set for proper
automatic timer recording. We suggest you
refer to a radio station or time/temperature
service for the correct time.
• If you do not press a button within 5 min-
utes in Steps 2–9, the clock is not set. Start
again from Step 1

minute that is 1 or 2 minutes after the cur-
rent time, then press

Turning On Auto Clock Set
If you turned off the auto clock set feature and
manually set the VCR’s clock, then find that
EDS is available in your area, you can turn the
auto clock set feature back on. This ensures
that the VCR sets itself to the correct time after

does not find an EDS signal, follow the
steps under “Manually Setting the Clock”
on Page 16.
Adding/Erasing Channels
We recommend you check the channels the
VCR automatically stored. It might have stored
distant, weak channels that you normally would

number buttons. Then press 
ADD/DLT. CHAN-
NEL
 nn ADDED appears, and the channel is
added to memory.
Reprogramming Tuner Memory
You might want to reprogram the VCR’s tuner
memory if you move or change from an anten-
na connection to a cable TV connection.
Note: You can also quickly erase all settings,
including the time, local channels, and pro-
grammed events, then reprogram the tuner’s
memory. See “Resetting the VCR’s Memory”
on Page 18.
Follow these steps to reprogram the tuner.
1. Press
