Video Channel Set

Video Channel (RF Output Channel) is the channel on which your TV receives picture and sound signals from the video recorder through the RF cable.

If you have connected the video recorder to your TV via the RF cable only (RF connection) you have to set the correct video channel – Go to "With RF Connection" below.

If you have connected the video recorder to your TV via both the RF cable and a 21-pin SCART cable (AV connection), since you do not need the video channel you have to set the video channel to off – Go to "With AV Connection" on next page.

IMPORTANT:

Before performing the following steps, make sure the recorder's power is off and there is no cassette inserted in the recorder.
