If you’ve already set up auto tuning, press the VCR1 button on your remote control.

NOTE: Viewing a VCR while in AIR mode may result in poor picture performance. Instead, select System Options from the main menu, then select Signal Type and select Cable.

Some cable systems may require a “conversion box.” If so, consult your cable company’s box tuning instructions for details.
