How to find your TV’s Video Input Channel

In order to see what’s playing on your DVD/VCR, you need to tune the TV to the Video Input Channel that corresponds to the Input Jacks on your TV that you used to connect the DVD/VCR to the TV.The Video Input Channel(s) varies for different brands and different models of TVs.

RCA, GE, and Proscan TVs

If your brand of TV is RCA, GE, or Proscan, the remote control packed with your DVD/VCR will most likely access the TV’s Video Input Channel—with the DVD/VCR turned on, press the TV button, and then press INPUT until you see the DVD/VCR’s menu on your TV screen.

Other Brands of TVs

Since access to a TV’s Video Input Channel varies from one manufacturer to the next, it’s difficult to provide specific instructions for your particular brand. However, a list of suggestions is provided below.

Consult the Instruction Manual that came with your TV.

If you can’t find the information in the manual, or can’t find the manual, review the following list.

• There might be a button on the TV’s remote control that accesses the Video Input Channel (see table below for examples).

You might select the Video Input Channel from the TV’s menu system.

You might tune to it by pressing a specific channel number (see table below).

Press the Channel up and/or down buttons on the TV’s remote control (sometimes the Video Input Channel is stored in your TV’s channel list).
