You have now tuned your TV to the
VCR. From now on, whenever you
want to play a tape, set the TV to the
video channel.
To obtain a clear playback picture
If the video picture does not appear clearly
in step 3 above, turn the RF CHANNEL
screw on the rear panel of the VCR with a
screwdriver to a position where the TV
clearly displays the playback picture.
To select the TV system
For your TV to receive the correct signal
from your VCR you must set the TV
SYSTEM switch on the rear panel of the
VCR to either G (for system B/G) or K (for
system D/K). If this switch is set to the
wrong position, the sound will be distorted.
