Getting Started

7 Switch the RF or Video Channel

When the VCR is on, its video signal can come into your TV on either channel 3 or channel 4. You need to select the appropriate channel.

If you already have a tape in the VCR, eject it. When the power is turned on, press POWER to turn it off. Press PLAY/STILL on the VCR to turn the power on again. Pressing the CHANNEL UP button on the VCR alternates between RFCH- 03 (channel 3) and RFCH-04 (channel 4) in the VCR's display. Display the channel which is not used by a commercial channel in your area.

Your basic hookup is now complete. When you're ready to try hooking up a second VCR or a video camera for a complete home entertainment system, see Advanced Operations.

Now turn the TV and VCR back around facing you and begin your quick tour of the controls (page 15).
