How to Find Your TV’s Video Input
Channel
You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel if you are
using the VCR’s AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks to connect to the TV’s
AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT jacks. You must select this “channel” before
you can see the VCR’s menus, the cable or antenna reception,
and the content that’s on a tape.
The Video Channel on TVs varies for different brands and
different models. Below are some steps to try:
•
If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press the TV
button on the remote control that came with the VCR. Then
press the INPUT button on the remote.
•
If you have another brand of TV, consult the section,
Programming The Remote, to see if the VCR’s remote
control can be set to control your TV. If so, follow the step
above.
If those options do not work, try the following ideas. You might
access the Video Input Channel by:
•
pressing a button on the remote (see table below)
•
selecting the channel from the TV’s menu system
(see table below)
•
tuning directly to the channel by selecting a specific channel
number (see table below)
•
going through all the channels in the channel list by
pressing the channel up or down buttons on the TV.
