Tuning in a video channel on your TV

Notes

The output frequency of this video recorder (VCR) is set at UHF channel 36. If channel 36 is already used by another TV station, or if the picture is distorted, you can change the transmitter channel of your VCR. Stages 5 ~ 8 will show you how to change the output frequency of your VCR.

Your TV receives signals from the video recorder (VCR) like another TV station. You have to select a channel number on your TV and tune it in so that you may watch video tapes. If you have used a SCART or AUDIO and VIDEO cables then your TV should already have a dedicated video channel built into it, usually called AV.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a video-tape to play at this stage! If you switch your VCR on and continue stages 3 ~ 4, instead of seeing video playback tune your TV until you see a bright blue screen.
