Tuning in a video channel on your TV

Notes

The output frequency of this video recorder (VCR) is set at UHF channel 36. If channel 36 is already used by another TV station, or if the picture is distorted, you can change the transmitter channel of your VCR. Stages 5 ~ 8 will show you how to change the output frequency of your VCR.

Your TV receives signals from the video recorder (VCR) like another TV station. You have to select a channel number on your TV and tune it in so that you may watch video tapes. If you have used a SCART or AUDIO and VIDEO cables then your TV should already have a dedicated video channel built into it, usually called AV.

1 Make sure that you have correctly installed your VCR as described earlier in this book.

Press POWER to turn on your VCR. Turn on your TV.

2Insert a pre-recorded video tape into your VCR and press PLAY on the remote control.

Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video’s.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a video-tape to play at this stage! If you switch your VCR on and continue stages 3 ~ 4, instead of seeing video playback tune your TV until you see a bright blue screen.

3Tune this channel until the video picture is sharp and the sound is clear.

If you have used a SCART or AUDIO and VIDEO cables you will not have to tune your TV, simply select the AV channel. The AV channel is already pre-tuned for optimum video playback on your TV.

4Store this channel on your TV.

You will need to look at the TV instruction book if you do not know how to do this.

5Only carry out stages 5 ~ 8 if you cannot obtain clear video playback as described in stages 1 ~ 4. Select a TV channel number on which you wish to watch video’s.
