Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

SETTING THE CH3/CH4 SWITCH

If your TV does not have A/V terminals:
When the VCR is in the Playback mode or when the VCR is in the VCR position, your TV will receive signals from the
VCR on either channel 3 or 4.
To use the VCR with your TV, set the selector switch to CH3 or CH4 (which is located in the back of your VCR),
whichever is not used for normal broadcasts in your area. Then set your TV to the same channel.
