How to Find Your TV's
Video Input Channel
You need to tune your TV to the Video Input Channel if you are
using the VCR's VIDEO/STEREO OUT jacks to connect to the TV's
VIDEO/STEREO INPUT jacks. You must select this "channel"
before you can see the VCR's menus, the cable or antenna
reception, and the content that's on a tape, but you cannot do it
with your VCR's remote control.
The video channel on TVs varies for different brands and
different models. Below are some steps to try:
•
pressing a button on the TV's remote (see table below)
•
selecting the channel from the TV's menu system
(see table below)
•
tuning directly to the channel by selecting a specific channel
number (see table below)
•
going through all the channels in the channel list by
pressing the channel up or down buttons on the TV.
Some common scenarios are listed in the Video Input Channel
