Getting Started

Plug in the TV and VCR power cords to the wall outlet or an appropriate extension cord or surge protector. See Important Safeguards for further precautions (page 6).

6 Install Batteries in the Remote Control

The remote control requires two fresh "AA" batteries. On the back of the remote, a plastic cover slides off in the direction shown by the arrow. Remove this cover and install the batteries, matching the plus end of each battery with the plus mark on the remote.

7 Set the RF or Video Channel Switch

When the VCR is on, its video signal can come into your TV on either channel 3 or channel 4. You need to select the appropriate channel.

Turn the power on to both the TV and the VCR, and look for a switch on the back of the VCR. Set the switch to 3 or 4, whichever is not a commercial channel in your area.

Your basic hookup is now complete. When you're ready to try hooking up a second VCR or a video camera for a complete home entertainment system, see Advanced Operations.

Now turn the TV and VCR back around facing you and begin your quick tour of the controls (page 15).
