I got a new (secondhand) VCR today - with no instruction manual. I found out from my previous VCR manual that we have to use channel 36 to get into the on screen menu and so to be able to autotune. I have done this and got everything working, but the only number I could get the VCR onto (to save going to Channel 36 every time) was 99 (two back from channel 1) It works on that but calls it 60. I want to get it to be 0 the same as my precious VCR, but it does not show a 0. The VCR screen is inbetween 1 and 99, but is just snow, so can't be used. Any ideas? Would it help to get a scart lead?
I may be a pensioner but I don't like to be beaten by a bit of hardware.
