Finding the TV’s Video Line Input

You need to tune your TV to the video line input 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 line input before you can see the VCR’s menus, the cable/antenna reception, and the content that’s on a tape.

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

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

If you have another brand of TV, see the chapter Using the Remote Control to see if the VCR’s remote can be programmed to control your TV. If so, once completed, follow the step above.

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