Your VCR must control one TV channel permanently
just as a TV broadcast station does. To decide which
channel to use, select either channel 3 or 4 with the
Channel 3/4 switch on the back of the VCR. To avoid
local interference, the channel 3/4 switch position
you choose should correspond to the number of the
TV channel that is not normally broadcast in your
area. lf you have cable TV, select the channel that
provides the best reception. You can still watch your
favorite channels, see page 15 for normal broadcast
channel reception.

may be used to help you to better understand the terminology used in this manual.

Before you purchased your VCR you probably had an antenna or cable system connected to your TV set. Before
removing whichever system is connected to your TV, pay particular attention to the type of connection you have
on the back of the TV.
For complete playback and recording capabilities on the VCR you must make the proper connection. To record
TV programs on the VCR you must have a signal source present, either from an antenna or cable system. This
is accomplished by connecting the signal source to the VCR and connecting the VCR to your TV.
You can:
* Watch a program being recorded by the VCR.
* Watch a program with the VCR OFF (the signal will be passed through the VCFI to the TV).
* Record one channel while watching another.
