FEATURES

Your RadioShack Model 28 9" Color TV with Built-In VHS VCR combines a versatile color TV/monitor and a VCR in one space-saving cab- inet. The supplied AC and DC power cords let you enjoy it in your home, office, car, RV, van, or boat — almost anywhere! The Model 28 re- ceives TV programs and plays video tapes. It also records video tapes from TV programs or an audio/video source you connect to it.

Please read this owner’s manual carefully. It has been prepared to assist you with initial setup procedures and to guide you in the Model 28’s everyday operation.

Your Model 28 has these features.

Front Panel Video/Audio Input Jacks — let you quickly connect an audio/video device such as a camcorder or video game without discon- necting other devices.

179-Channel Capability, Digital PLL (Phase- Locked Loop) Tuner — offers a broad range of viewing choices and a clear, sharp picture.

Tuner Memory Programming — automatically stores all the active channels in your area into memory. You can also manually program the tuner’s memory, making it easy to add new channels when you move the Model 28 to an- other area, or delete channels you do not want.
