Setting the video channel
To watch videos on your TV, it must be set to the same UHF channel as the video cassette recorder. This channel is used as the video channel.
This video cassette recorder has been preset to UHF channel E36.
Note:
∙When you have connected the VIDEO/AUDIO output terminals of this video cassette recorder to your TV’s VIDEO/ AUDIO input terminals (connection B of the “Connections” section), setting the video channel is not necessary. In this case, simply set the TV’s TV/VCR switch to VCR.
1 Turn the video cassette recorder’s power on.
2 Set the TEST switch to “ON”.
3 Turn on the TV and set it to UHF channel E36, and fine- adjust it until you can see the two vertical white bars on the screen most clearly.
If UHF channel E36 is being used for broadcasting in your area:
Adjust the TV’s channel selector a little at a time until the TV screen is blank (set it towards a higher or lower channel). Adjust the Channel adjustment screw on the rear panel of the video cassette recorder a little at a time until the two vertical white bars appear on the TV screen.
