How to Find Your TV’s Video Input Channel
You must tune your TV to the video input channel if you are using the VCR’s Audio/Video (A/V) OUT jacks
to connect to the TV’s A/V input jacks. You must select the TV’s video input channel before you can see
the VCR’s menus, the cable/antenna reception, and the content that’s on a tape.
The video input channel for TVs varies by brand and model. Below are some steps to try to find your TV’s
video input channel:

• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, Proscan, or Scenium, press
the TV button on the VCR’s remote control, then press the
INPUT button.
If those options do not work, try the following ideas. You
might access the video input channel by:
• Pressing a button on the TV’s remote control (see the table
below).
• Selecting a specific channel from the TV’s on-screen menu
system (see the table below).
• Tuning directly to the video input channel by selecting a
specific channel number (see the table below)
• Going through all available channels by pressing the
channel up or down buttons on the TV or its remote
control.
