Step 1: Review What’s in the Box
The following items come packed in the box:
•
VCR
•
Remote control
•
RF coaxial cable
STEP 2: Install Batteries In the
Remote Control
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change
the batteries in your VCR remote.
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place the batteries into the remote’s back panel. Match
the positive (+) and negative (–) ends of each battery to
the diagram inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
STEP 3: Connect your VCR to a TV
If you connect your VCR to your home antenna or cable
system and then to your TV, use the VCR’s ANT IN and RF
OUT jacks for a good signal as shown to the right.
If you have a TV with AUDIO/VIDEO jacks, use the jacks for
a better connection. See the
Connections
chapter in this
manual for additional connection options.
STEP 4: PLUG IN THE VCR
Your VCR’s power cord has a plastic band strung through
the blades.
Remove plastic band before plugging the
cord into the power outlet
. To remove band, cut with a
pair of scissors and pull it free of the blades. Once the
plastic is removed, match the wide blade of the power cord
to the wide slot in the AC outlet. Be sure to insert the plug
completely.
