Connect the Power
(Required) Plug your VCR into an unswitched 120 Vac, 60 Hz
household power outlet. Turn on the VCR by pressing the
POWER on the remote or on the VCR’s front panel.
While plugged into an AC outlet, the VCR consumes 3W of
electrical power in OFF condition.
Do not plug the VCR into a switched power
outlet. Otherwise, when the power is switched off, the
VCR turns off. You may then have to reset the time
and date, and reprogram
operational features.
Set Position of the CH3/CH4 Switch
(Required) The CH3/CH4 switch on the VCR’s back panel
determines which channel the VCR uses to send video signals to your TV. The TV must be tuned to the same channel
you set with the CH3/CH4 switch to see tape playback and
status displays from the VCR. To determine which video
channel provides the best
picture for your system, try the switch in CH3
position and tune your TV to channel 3; then try the CH4
position and tune your TV to channel 4.
For a test display, press TV/VCR on remote repeatedly until
the VCR indicator appears in the VCR’s front panel display.
