VCR SETUP
SETTING THE VCR's OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH
Set the VCR's OUTPUT CHANNEL switch (on the back of the VCR) to 3 or 4,
whenever is not an active channel in your area.
NOTE: The Model 107's OUTPUT CHANNEL switch looks slightly different than
shown here.
When VCR appears on the display, the VCR sends the signal from the
video source connected to its VHF/UHF CATV OUT terminal to the TV
on the channel you selected.
NOTE: The OUTPUT CHANNEL switch has no effect on the TV when the
VCR is off or if you are using a TV that has separate audio/
video input jacks and that is set to the video mode.
REMOTE CONTROL
Installing the Batteries
The remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied). For the
longest operation and best performance, we recommend alkaline batteries
(such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-557).
CAUTIONS: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
Never leave dead batteries in the remote control.
Dispose of dead batteries promptly and properly; do not bury
or burn them.
1. Press down on the battery compartment cover and slide it in the
direction of the arrow to remove it.
2. Insert fresh batteries into the compartment, as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
NOTE: If the remote control does not work or operates poorly, replace
both batteries. If it does not operate properly even after
replacing batteries, remove the batteries once, wait 5 minutes,
then re-install the batteries.
