Video Channel Set

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

IMPORTANT

Perform the following steps only if —

—interference appears in the TV picture after you have moved to a different area or a new station has started broadcasting in your area.

—you change the connection between your recorder and TV from RF connection to AV or S-VIDEO connection, or vice versa.

If you have connected the recorder to your TV via the AV or S-VIDEO connection ( pg. 10, 11), since you do not need the video channel you have to set the video channel to off.

If you have connected the recorder to your TV via the RF connection ( pg. 10), you have to set the correct video channel.

Before performing the following steps:

Make sure the recorder’s power is off and there is no cassette inserted in the recorder.

A Access the Video Channel Set mode.

Hold down 0 on the recorder until the front display panel shows the following.

NOTES:

●If you set the video recorder to a channel which is occupied by a local station or has neighbouring channels that are occupied by local stations, the picture reception quality will be affected and some interference noise will appear on the TV screen.
