    set the switch to VHF-H.  For channels beyond 13, set the switch to
    UHF.

    brightness or darkness.

    contrast.

    "Antennas."

TV Reception Tips

    Weak signal reception might cause snow to appear on your TV's picture.
    Too much distance between your TV and the station's transmitter can
    cause weak reception.  Buildings with large amounts of steel
    construction can cause reception problems as well.  Try changing the
    position and length of the antenna.  If this does not help, use an
    outdoor antenna as described in "Antennas."

    "Snow" along with a tear or roll can often be due to improper tuning.
    This can also be due to a very weak signal.

    If the image does not fill the screen at the sides, this means your
    battery power is low.  Replace the batteries as needed.

USING THE RADIO

Follow these steps to operate your radio.

1.  Set the VOLUME control to its lowest setting.

2.  Set the TAPE/RADIO/TV switch to RADIO.

3.  Set the AM/FM/FM-STEREO selector to the desired band.

4.  Adjust the VOLUME control for a comfortable listening level.

5.  Select the desired station using the TUNING control.  The FM
    STEREO/POWER indicator becomes brighter when you tune the radio to an
    FM stereo broadcast.

    Extend your TV/radio/recorder's antenna to its full length for
    improved FM reception.

6.  Adjust the BALANCE control to suit your personal preference.

Radio Reception Tips

    If FM reception is weak, this is generally caused by problems similar
    to those described in "TV Reception Tips."  Use an outdoor antenna to
    improve your TV/radio/recorder's reception.

    Weak AM reception can be caused by the station's transmitter being too
    far away, or by operating your TV/radio/recorder in a building with
    steel construction.  Turn your TV/radio/recorder in different
    directions to find the best position for the built-in AM antenna.

USING THE CASSETTE DECK

Follow these steps to operate your cassette deck.

Playing a Cassette

3.  Close the compartment door.

4.  Set the VOLUME control to its lowest setting.

5.  Set the TAPE/RADIO/TV switch to TAPE.  The POWER indicator goes out.

6.  Press PLAY.  The POWER indicator lights.

7.  Adjust the VOLUME control for a comfortable listening level.  The tape
    automatically stops at the end of play.

Fast Forward and Rewind

Press FAST-F to rapidly advance a tape.  Press REWIND to quickly rewind a
tape.  When the tape reaches the desired point, press STOP/EJECT.

CAUTION:  To avoid damaging the tape, do not go directly from rewind to
          fast-forward or from fast-forward to rewind without press
          STOP/EJECT between steps.

          Auto stop also functions at the end of Fast-Forward and Rewind
          mode.

Recording from Radio or TV

1. Set the TAPE/RADIO/TV switch to RADIO or TV.

2.  Set the AM/FM/FM STEREO band or VHF-LOW/VHF-HIGH/UHF band selector to
    the desired band.

4.  Load a blank cassette (or one you don't mind recording over) into the
    cassette deck.

5.  Press RECORD and PLAY at the same time.

CAUTION:  Never attempt to force the RECORD button.  If you have removed
          your cassette's erase-protection tabs, you cannot press RECORD.

6.  When the recording is complete, PLAY and RECORD pop up and the tape
    motor automatically stops.  Press STOP/EJECT to remove the cassette.

NOTES:  You can monitor the signal as the system records it, either
        through the speakers or headphones.  The VOLUME and BALANCE
        controls do not affect the recording level.

        To temporarily stop recording, press PAUSE.  Press PAUSE again to
        resume recording.

speakers disconnect when you connect the headphones.
