Basic Television Operation
Source
Pressing the Source key on the remote switches between the Video
inputs and Cable/Antenna input. The Time/Channel display will read
"Video" in place of a channel number if A/V inputs are selected as the
picture source.
Cable/Antenna Input: This setting allows you to change cable or
antenna channels and to view videocassettes on channel 3 (or 4)
in mono sound.
Video Input: This setting allows stereo playback of videocassettes. The
television cannot change channels in the Video mode, but the VCR can.
To view the current input source, press ENTER on your remote.
The Time/Channel display should appear in the upper-right hand
corner of the screen. If the display reads 'Video,' then the
source is an A/V input. If the display reads a channel number,
then the source is Cable/Antenna.
