HOW TO FIND YOUR TV’S

VIDEO INPUT CHANNEL

TV Button

You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel if you are using the VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks to connect to the TV’s AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT jacks. You must select this “channel” before you can see the VCR’s menus, the cable or antenna reception, and the content that’s on a tape.

The Video Channel on TVs varies for different brands and different models. Below are some steps to try:

If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press the TV button on the remote control that came with the VCR. Then press the INPUT button on the remote.
