Entertainment
Machine
Basic TV Operation
The source button (TV/VCR/Source) on the remote switches between
Video input and Cable/Antenna input. The Time/Channel display will
read “Video” in place of a channel number if A/V inputs are selected as
the picture source.
Cable/Antenna Input: This setting allows you to change cable or
antenna channels and view videocassettes on channel 3 (or 4)
in mono sound.
Video Input: This setting allows stereo playback of videocassettes. The
television cannot change channels in the Video mode, but the VCR can.
To view the current input source, press ENTER on your remote.
The Time/Channel display should appear in the upper right-hand
corner of the screen. If the display reads ‘Video,’ then the
source is an A/V input. If the display reads a channel number,
then the source is your Cable or Antenna.
