Connect the audio/video cable that came with your DVD player from the DVD player’s audio/video output to the audio/video input on the TV. To add both a DVD player (or game console) and a VCR, see the setups in the Installation Guide.

Press the Input, Source, or TV/Video button on your TV until you see channel numbers displayed. Then use the buttons on the front of your TV to go to channel 3 or 4, depending on how the Channel 3/4 switch on your VCR is set.
