Getting Started
When the VCR is on, its video signal can come into your TV on either channel 3 or
channel 4. You need to select the appropriate channel.
Turn the power on to both the TV and the VCR, and look for a switch on the back of
the VCR. Set the switch to 3 or 4, whichever is not a commercial channel in your area.
Your basic hookup is now complete. When you're ready to try hooking up a second
VCR or a video camera for a complete home entertainment system, see Advanced
Operations.
Now turn the TV and VCR back around facing you and begin your quick tour of the
controls (page 15).
