If when tuning in your TV to the VCR test  
pattern your TV does not find the test pattern  
or the pattern when found suffers from  
interference, it may be due to the VCR output  
channel clashing with the normal TV  
transmissions in your area. To prevent this  
you will need to change the VCR output  
channel in the following way  
1. Remove the aerial input plug from the socket marked (aerial  
symbol) on the rear of the VCR.  
2. Carry out the instructions “Tuning Your Television for the VCR”  
(see page 14).  
3. Carry out the instructions “Setting the VCR output Channel”  
(see page 17), move the channel number several channels  
down from the original setting. (example: from 38 to 35).  
4. Replace the aerial plug into the socket marked (aerial symbol)  
on the rear of the VCR.
