7 Switch the RF or Video Channel
When the VCR is on, its video signal can come into your TV on either channel 3 or channel 4. You need to
select the appropriate channel.
If you already have a tape in the VCR, eject it. When the power is turned on, press POWER to turn it off.
Press PLAY/STILL on the VCR to turn the power on again. Pressing the CHANNEL UP button on the VCR
alternates between RFCH-03 (channel 3) and RFCH-04 (channel 4) in the VCR's display. Display the channel
which is not used by a commercial channel in your area.
Your basic hookup is now complete. When you're ready to try hooking up a second VCR or a video camera for
a complete home entertainment system, see Advanced Operations.
Now turn the TV and VCR back around facing you and begin your quick tour of the controls (page 15).

Quick Tour of the Controls
Study these pictures carefully to learn about the buttons and controls that you'll need for everyday operation.
Various controls are explained throughout this manual as they are needed, but now is a good time to get familiar
with their locations.
Most of the time, you'll be directing the VCR from the remote control, but there are some controls on the VCR
that will come in handy too.
When you're familiar with these basic controls, proceed to Setup for First-Time Operation (page 21). We'll show
you how to program your local channels and set the clock to make your VCR fully functional.
