Here's What to Try
¥ Make sure TV is in the correct input. If the TV does not go
to the correct input when the VCR1, VCR2•LD, or
DSS•CABLE button on the remote are pressed, refer to the
Test the System section of the Installation and Hookup
Guide for proper programming of the components.
¥ Make sure all cables are connected as shown in the
Installation and Hookup Guide.
¥ After pressing the TV button on the remote, you must enter
the channel you wish to watch or press Channel up or down
on the remote.
¥ The system is not configured to record from the laserdisc
player onto the VCR. To record from the laserdisc player
you must remove the two-wire cable from the TV that comes
from the laserdisc player. This then gets connected to R & L
inputs on the back of the VCR. An additional video cable
will then need to be connected from the Video Out 2 of the
laserdisc player to the Video Input of the VCR. The VCR
must then be put into the L1 input mode. This can be done
by pressing the VCR1 button on the remote and then the
INPUT•SEEK button.
¥ Make sure the power cords of all the components are
connected as shown in the Installation and Hookup Guide.
