How to Find Your TV’s Video Input Channel

You must tune your TV to the video input channel if you are using the VCR’s Audio/Video (A/V) OUT jacks to connect to the TV’s A/V input jacks. You must select the TV’s video input channel before you can see the VCR’s menus, the cable/antenna reception, and the content that’s on a tape.

The video input channel for TVs varies by brand and model. Below are some steps to try to find your TV’s video input channel:

If your TV brand is RCA, GE, Proscan, or Scenium, press the TV button on the VCR’s remote control, then press the INPUT button.

If those options do not work, try the following ideas. You might access the video input channel by:

Pressing a button on the TV’s remote control (see the table below).

Selecting a specific channel from the TV’s on-screen menu system (see the table below).

Tuning directly to the video input channel by selecting a specific channel number (see the table below)

Going through all available channels by pressing the channel up or down buttons on the TV or its remote control.
