SETTING THE VCR'S OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH
Set the VCR's OUTPUT CHANNEL switch (on the back of the VCR) to 3 or 4,
whichever is not an active channel in your area.
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
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.
