each press of the INPUT button.
2. Once you have found the input source you want, stop pressing INPUT.
• If you tune to VID1 and your VCR is connected to that input, you will be
able to view your VCR. To play, stop, or rewind the VCR1 tape using the
remote that came with your TV, you must first press the VCR1 button to put
the remote control in VCR mode.
There are other ways of selecting an input channel:
• Program the component (VCR, DVD, etc.) buttons on the remote control to
automatically tune to the correct input channel when pressed. See the section
in this book, "System Options and Preferences" for information on auto tuning.
• After pressing INPUT on the remote, enter the digits 1, 2, 3, or 4 to tune to
(S)VID1, 2, 3, or FRONT, respectively.
