Remote Control
The Remote Control for VZ8 models is illustrated
in Figure 1-3. Its functions are straightforward.
The numerical buttons 0 through 9, are used to
enter numerical values for Time Setting, Alarm set-
ting, V-Chip Lock Code, etc. The buttons are also
used to directly access a channel.
The numerical buttons channel change is a three digit
system. Channels with less than three digits may be
accessed in one of three ways.
1) Add zeros prior to entering the channel
number, making it a three digit entry. Press

2) Enter the channel number then press EN- PIP SIZE EXCH
TER.
3) Enter just the channel number. There will
be a four second delay before the channel
change occurs.
When the QV (Quick View) button is pressed, the
TV changes to the previous channel selection. If
pressed again it returns to the original channel. Re-
peated pressing will toggle the TV back and forth
between the two channels. Figure 1-3: Remote Control
