Finding the TV’s Video Line Input
You need to tune your TV to the Video Line Input if you are using the
VCR’s Audio/Video (A/V) OUT jacks to connect to the TV’s A/V input
jacks. You must select the TV’s Video Line Input before you can see or
hear the VCR’s signal.
The Video Line Input for TVs varies by brand and model. Below are
some ways to find the TV’s Video Line Input:
• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or Proscan, press the TV button on the
VCR’s remote control, then press the INPUT button.
• If you have another brand of TV, see the documentation that came
with it to determine how to access its Video Line Input.
If those options do not work, try the following ideas. You might access
the Video Line Input by:
• Pressing a button on the TV’s remote control (see the table below).
• Selecting a specific channel from the TV’s on-screen menu system
(see the table below).
• Tuning directly to the Video Line Input by selecting a specific
channel number (see the table below)
• Going through all available channels by pressing the channel up or
down buttons on the TV or its remote control.
