Insert the small end of the power cord into the back of the VCR. Match the wide blade of the plug on the other end of the cord with the wide slot in the AC outlet. Be sure to insert the plugs completely.

STEP 5: TUNE THE TV

Tune the TV to the VCR viewing channel. The VCR viewing channel is channel 3 or 4 or the TV’s video input.

•If you connect your VCR using the IN FROM ANTENNA and OUT TO TELEVISION jacks with RF coaxial cable, set the 3CH4 switch to channel 3 or channel 4--the channel you want to use on your TV.

•If you connect your VCR using the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks with audio/video cables, select the TV’s video input to see the signal. See the TV Owner’s Manual.

STEP 7: ACCESS THE MENUS

The MENU and number buttons let you access, select, and change menu items. For example, to change the Auto Play setting, you would do the following:
