First Things First
4
Step 1: What’s in the Box?
The following items come packed in the box:
• VCR
• Remote control
• RF coaxial cable
STEP 2: Install Batteries In
the Remote Control
Follow these steps whenever you need to install or change
the batteries in your VCR remote:
1. Remove the cover of the battery compartment.
2. Place the batteries into the remote control’s back
panel. Match the positive (+) and negative (–) ends of
each battery to the diagram inside the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
STEP 3: Connect your VCR
If the VCR is connected to an antenna or cable system and
then to the TV, use the VCR’s ANT. IN and RF OUT jacks for
a good signal (see the diagram to the right).
If the TV has AUDIO/VIDEO jacks, use A/V cables to
connect the two for a better picture. See the Connections
section in this manual for additional connection options.
STEP 4: PLUG IN THE VCR
The VCR’s power cord has a plastic band strung through
the blades. Remove plastic band before plugging the
cord into the power outlet. To remove band, cut with a
pair of scissors and pull it free of the blades. Once the
plastic is removed, match the wide blade of the power
cord to the wide slot in the AC outlet. Be sure to insert the
plug completely.
