Problem tuning old TV to VCR - Advice Needed

"Paul"

Some old ones did, some did not.

How about you pull your finger out and TRY the channels the VCR uses for output.

most vcr's use the UHF channel 36 to output the signal. many old teles only did vhf (0 - 12)

As it sounds like the TV doesn't have A/V in, you'll need to check that the VCR has an RF out and what channel it outputs on.

It might be 0, 1 or somewhere in the UHF range. If the latter and the TV lacks have UHF then you won't be able to use it unless you have a converter (which Tandy sold many moons ago).

Thanks guys I found the VCR on the UHF channel. This TV is pretty old and yet still looks great to watch. Regards

All VCRs (all newere ones anyway) are sending output on UHF band.

I can not remember this particular GE you are talking about, but some really old TVs had separate antenna plugs for UHF and VHF.

If TV has a dial, there is a "rotating knob" in the dial control to allow for fine tuning. You may only have one UHF setting on dial, so tune your VCR in there.

BTW, if you manage to tune your TV to VCR, you can use VCR as a tuner to accept all other channels.

Thanks Rudolf - I fixed the problem when somebody told me to search the UHF channel.
