VCR Tape Recording
Basic Instructions
1.Turn on the DVD+VCR and TV.
2.Tune the TV to the DVD+VCR output channel (CH 3 or 4) or if a direct VIDEO/AUDIO connec- tion is made between the DVD+VCR and the TV, set the TV’s source selector to VIDEO.
3.Insert a video cassette with the safety tab intact.
4.Select the desired channel using CH/TRK (v/V).
