Preparation

NOTE:

For proper ventilation, your Dual-Deck VCR needs at least 3/8" clearance all around it. Make sure you have enough room on your shelf to provide this clearance.

Your Dual-Deck VCR connects to your TV and antenna in exactly the same way as any other VCR.

If you already own a VCR, take a few minutes to note how the VCR is hooked up. Then simply swap the Dual-Deck with your old VCR using the same settings and connections.

Here are some things you should take note of in your current hookup:

1.Which cable attaches to the VCR’s ANTENNA IN jack on the back of the VCR.

2.Which cable attaches to the TV OUT jack on the back of the VCR.

3.Which channel your TV is tuned to (to watch the VCR).

4.Which channel (3 or 4) is set on the back of your VCR.

5.If you have a cable converter box leading into your VCR, you will need to note which channel (2, 3 or 4) your VCR is tuned to.

Note: Your exact hookup will depend on whether or not you subscribe to cable TV and whether you have a cable converter box or other equipment (such as laser disc player, satellite receiver, etc.).

6.Be sure to insert the two supplied AA batteries in the remote control
