jacks. Refer to page 7 and 8.
Manual Playback (Has Safety Tab)

2. Insert a prerecorded VHS cassette into the VCR.
3. Press PLAY to begin playback.
4. Select the channel 3 or 4 at the TV or select the TV's AUX
(Auxiliary) source to see the picture, if you are using the A/V
jacks. Refer to your TV operating manual.
Unloading the Cassette from the VCR
