Connecting VCR to old GE TV - Need Advice!

[Robert]

I'm using a small old General Electric color TV set and I'm trying to
connect a VCR to it. Is their a particular channel reserved for the VCR. The
Model is GE341 - with the rotary dial. I'm pretty sure I was able to do this
once before. Any help would be appreciated - John

Check the rear of your VCR. If it has a 0/1 selector switch, or a 3/4
selection, then dial in the appropriate VHF channel on your TV.
Otherwise, if the VCR has a UHF adjustment trimmer, then select UHF on
your TV and tune around channels 30-40. More modern VCRs have an RF
output channel that can be configured via the remote or via the front
panel. IIRC, a typical UHF output channel is 36.
