The VCR channel is the channel on which you can watch the
picture from the VCR on the TV when only using the RF
connection.
●
Even if you are using audio/video cables to connect your VCR
to your TV, you must also connect it using the RF cable. This
will ensure that you can record one show while watching
another (
