●The VCR channel is the channel on the TV which will display the audio and video signals from the VCR. The VCR's CH3- CH4 switch sets the VCR channel to CH3 or CH4.

●The CH3–CH4 switch is preset to the CH3 position. Set to CH4 if CH3 is used for broadcasting in your area.

●If your TV has no AV input terminals, set the channel on the TV to correspond to the CH3–CH4 switch on the back of the VCR.

●Even if your TV has AV input terminals, you must connect it to the VCR using an RF cable in order to record one show while watching another (☞ pg. 34).

●For full identification of the VCR's rear panel, refer to the Index (REAR VIEW ☞ pg. 58).
