How to Find Your TV's
Video Input Channel
You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel if you are
using the VCR's Audio/Video
OUT jacks to connect to the TV's
Audio/Video
INPUT jacks instead of coaxial cable. You must select
this "channel"
(also called LINE INPUT) before you can see the
VCR's menus, reception,
or taped content.
However, even though
your VCR's remote control has an INPUT SELECT button,
this will
not control your TV. Instead, this button
is used when another
component
is connected
to your VCR using the Audio/Video
INPUT jacks on the front panel (such as a camcorder).
The video input channel/LINE
INPUT on televisions varies from
brand to brand and model to model. Ultimately,
you should
consult the Owner's Manual from your TV, but some steps are
listed below which you can try first:
Press a button on the TV's remote control
(see table below).
Selecting
the channel from the TV's menu system
(see table below).
Tune directly
to the channel
by selecting
a specific number
(see table below).
Go through
all channels in the TV's channel list by pressing
the channel
up or down buttons
on the remote control or TV.
Some common scenarios are listed in the following
