PREPARATION
Tuning in a video channel on your TV
Notes
The output frequency of this video recorder

(VCR) is set at UHF channel 22. If channel 22

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 cable then

your TV should already have a dedicated video

channel built into it, usually called AV.

your TV until you see a bright blue screen.
