Setting the 3
↔
4 Output Channel Selector
The 3
↔
4 OUTPUT CHANNEL selector changes the VCR OUTPUT to standard
TV broadcasting signals. Both your TV and VCR must be set to the same
channel (i.e. TV on channel 3 and VCR OUTPUT CHANNEL selector on 3).
Your VCR is set to channel 3 at the factory, so your TV should be tuned to
channel 3 as well. If channel 3 is an active broadcast channel in your area, set
the VCR 3
↔
4 OUTPUT CHANNEL selector to 4 and tune your TV to channel 4.
Connecting the VCR
Each type of antenna and TV system requires a different method of connection. If you have cable TV (CATV),

To determine the correct type of connection, first check the type of antenna and TV terminal in use.
Make the connections as shown below.
• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of adaptor, separator, transformer or combiner that might be
required.
