How to Find Your TV’s Video Input
Channel
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 video line input before you can see the VCR’s
menus, the cable/antenna reception, and the content that’s on a tape.
The video line input for TVs varies by brand and model. Below are some
steps to try to find your 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 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 table below).
• Selecting a specific channel from the TV’s on-screen menu system
(see table below).
• Tuning directly to the video line input by selecting a specific channel
number (see table below)
• Going through all available channels by pressing the channel up or
down buttons on the TV or its remote control.
