My aunt gave me this VCR which looks to be a nice one. The label says mfr 2-18-1904. The model Number listed on the label is VR601HF What is the chances of finding a manual. I have tried to plug and play but there seems to be something that I need to do special. I do not want to run through the DirecTV receiver if I do not have to. I just need help to set this up to run on my newer model television.
