Connections & Setup
Set the VCR’s CH 3/4 Switch
The CH 3/4 switch on back of the VCR determines what channel the TV must be tuned
to see the VCR’s image. Choose whichever channel is not used locally in your area.
Note:
If you connected components using A/V jacks and cables, the VCR’s signal must be
viewed using the TV’s Video Line Input. To find the Video Line Input, refer to the manual
that came with the TV or see
Finding the TV’s Video Line Input
on page 47 in the
Other
Information
section of this manual.

Match the wide blade of the power cord to the wide slot in the AC outlet. Be sure to
insert the plug completely.
