Step 7

Tuning the VCR

First, we recommend that you preset the receivable channels in your area using automatic presetting. Then, if some channels could not be preset automatically, you can preset them manually; if there are any unwanted channels among the preset ones, you can disable the channels.

Before you start…

Turn on the VCR and the TV.

Set the TV to the video channel.
