Question
hi there... recently purchased a sony vcr(SLV-N55) i bought it from a thrift store simply because the tuner on my tv went out and wanted to use the tuner on the vcr. i have no manual and im using a GE universal remote. i can use the remote to control the vcr however i cannot figure out how to switch the input from tv to vcr. any ideas??? model # of the remote appears to be 24944
The tv/video button is on the upper left of the remote control usually. But with your GE universal you may find it anywhere.
The manual for the SLV-N55 can be found by googling for it. I downloaded it from the Amazon page for this model and it is very thorough in the setting and controls.
Try this URL:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-SLV-N55-4-Head-Hi-Fi-VCR/dp/B00005YV4G
and go down to Product Details where you will find the manual downloading.
If your remote does not have the right buttons for tv/video you may need another remote control.
Let me know if you need more help.
