When you have connected the VIDEO/AUDIO OUT termi-
nals of this video cassette player to your TV’s video/audio in
terminals (connection B of the “Connections” section), set-
ting the video channel is not necessary. In this case simply
set the TV’s TV/VCR switch to VCR.

pre-recorded video tape.

of the video cassette player a little at a time until the
playback picture appears on the TV screen.
