The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position.

Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area. (To view the picture from this VCR through this channel, select the same channel on the TV with the CH3–CH4 switch setting on the VCR.) You can now perform basic playback ( pg.

NOTES:

The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF connection. The VCR’s CH3-CH4 switch, on the back of the VCR, sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.

Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This will ensure that you can record one show while watching another ( pg. 20).

For full identification of the VCR’s rear panel, refer to the
