Setting the video channel
To watch videos on your TV, it must be set to the same UHF
channel as the video cassette player. This channel is used as
the video channel.
This video cassette player has been preset to UHF channel 36.
Note:
When you have connected the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT termi-
nals of this video cassette player to your TV’s video/audio in
terminals (connection B of the “Connections” section), set-
ting the video channel is not necessary. In this case simply
set the TV’s TV/VCR switch to VCR.
Turn the video cassette player’s power on and load a
pre-recorded video tape.
Turn on the TV and set it to UHF channel 36.
If UHF channel 36 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 RF channel adjustment screw on the rear panel
of the video cassette player a little at a time until the
playback picture appears on the TV screen.
