Basic Operation (continued)
Setting Your TV to the VCR Channel
The
“VCR
Channel”
is
the
TV
channel
you
use
for
viewing
what
the
VCR
is
recording
or
playing,
and
for viewing the signal from the VCR tuner when it is
stopped. Your TV must be set to this channel, and the
light
above
the
V C R /T V
switch
on
your
VCR
must
be on.
Selecting
the
VCR
channel
is
normally
a
one-time
procedure,
since
there
is
little
reason
ever
to
change
it. Proceed as follows:
1.
Be
sure
the
T U N E R /L IN E
switch
behind
the
auxiliary control door is set to
T U N E R .
2.
Decide whether you want to view your VCR on
Channel 3 or Channel 4 of the TV. If one of
these channels is vacant in your area, you should
use it. Otherwise, pick the channel you view less.
3.
Set the channel switch on the back of the VCR
to
whichever
channel
you
have
chosen,
and
then
turn
on
your
TV
and
tune
it
to
the
same
channel. This is the “VCR channel.”
Setting the
VCR! TV
Switch
1.
Push
the
V C R /T V
switch
so
that
the
indicator
light above the switch is on. When the light is
on, the VCR is in the “VCR mode” and your TV
must
be
tuned
to
the
VCR
Channel
(channel
3
or
4).
Your
TV
will
then
display
whatever
tape
the
VCR
is
playing
or
whatever
channel
the
VCR is tuned to.
2.
Push
the
V C R /T V
switch
again
so
that
the
indicator above the switch is out. When the light
is out, the VCR is in the “TV mode” and your
TV
will
work
like
it
did
before
you
connected
the VCR.
The
V C R /T V
switch
allows
you
to
record
one
program
with
the
VCR
while
you
watch
another
program on your TV. To do this, first put the VCR in
the
“VCR
mode”
(light
on)
and
start
recording
the
program.
Then
press
the
V C R /T V
switch
to
the
“TV
mode”
(light
out)
and
tune
your
TV
to
the
other
channel you want to watch.
Note:
Your
VCR
automatically
switches
to
the
“VCR
mode” (VCR light on) when you turn it on with the
P O W E R
button, and when you start playing a tape.
