Answer 1

Connect the TV to the VCR directly, and then there should be another connection thingy where you can connect the Antenna to the VCR so this way you get all your programs directly and a clearer picture. If you need more help email me.

Answer 2

Hi charlie,
Check both your Plasma TV and VCR for the video-in/out, audio-in/out puts first. To record programs in the TV via VCR, first connect the TV antenna to in jacket of your VCR. The out chord from VCR is to be connected to video the in jacket of your TV. After making these connections, scan your TV for the correct channel to display with. It should be either VCH or UTH depending on the TV. Otherwise it will be Video1 or Video 2 in the TV screen. Better use double coloured Chords for making the audio/video connections. Best of luck

Answer 3

Read the manual once more. Both the TV and the VCR should have troubleshooting sections. Try the suggestions. If no luck, call the 800 number in the manual to get assistance. Call the store where you purchased it. Consult your service plan or warrantee.

Answer 4

make sure you have all your connections right; VCR A/V OUT to TV A/V IN (note the input label on the TV end). then switch the tv to the corrosponding input channel that the VCR is connected to.

Answer 5

most plasma TVs support multiple inputs (coaxial cable, component video, HDMI, etc) - you probably just need to to change the input the TV thinks it should be showing to match whatever your VCR is connected to.

check with the manual for your TV on how to change the selected input.
