The closest model VCR I have is the one listed above. The model number on my VCR is VHQ41M. I purchased in 2001-02. In order to hook up to my TV, I need the VCR channel on 4, but my VCR is programmed for 3. I could not locate any buttons on the back or side to change it from 3 to 4. I tried to manually change the channel to 4, but the VCR reverted back to channel 3 and, thus, I cannot get it to play tapes on the TV. Is the VCR programmed internally somehow? And if so, is there any way to change it internally to channel 4? Can you assist in any way -- other than recommendng the purchase of another VCR?
Hi, In most VCRs, as you have posted, there is a switch at the back where you can select the output to either Ch 3 or 4. In some cases, the switch is deep inside and you have to remove a small squarish rubber covering to expose the hole. It is normally close to the antenna input/output. More often than not it is a simple sliding 2 position switch. You would need any tool that can reach and sturdy enough to slide the switch. Internally program output channel selector is very possible, I would guess that its selectable via the menu set-up tabs. A question pls, How did you "I tried to manually change the channel to 4, but the VCR reverted back to channel 3..." Hope this be of some help to you. Pls post again how things turn up or further information. Good luck and kind regards.

Hi again,
If you can't still find the selector switch, maybe you need to open the VCR. If you are comfortable working with a screwdriver and work very carefully, then it is possible to do it yourself. Otherwise, you might be better off asking a qualified service professional.
Should you venture opening the VCR, the switch should be located in a rectangular shiny block component towards the rear of the unit and possible interfaced with your antenna connector and your RF output connector (the one that goes to your TV). The RF modulator is roughly 1cm thick by 2-3cm high and 4-5cm wide. only 1 connector with 4-5 wires is attached. You have to poke around that RF block to locate and move the switch.
and Hello again,
It may also be possible that you have a European/Middle East version that uses UHF and not Ch 3 or 4, just a thought
Cheers

INSTALLATION
Channel Master by PCT indoor antennas are designed to provide optimum reception of
UHF / VHF and FM signals. These antennas have 75 ohm outputs, which allow simple,
hassle-free connections to today's newer TV sets that have 75 ohm F type connector
inputs.
Simply attach one end of the supplied 6' cable with F connectors to the output of the
antenna (Fig.1). Attach the other end of the cable to the input of the TV set or VCR
(Fig. 2). Some adjustment of the antenna might be necessary for optimum viewing.
Model CM-4030 includes a built-in amplifier and separate power supply.
1. Follow the same steps as above for antenna to TV / VCR hookup. Note : Model
CM-4030 also allows for two set / VCR hookups with its unique dual output feature.
2. Insert the power injector into the back of the antenna (Fig. 3). Plug in the power
transformer to the closest electrical outlet (Fig. 4).
Google 4030 Channel Master Instruction Sheet for the PDF File with the diagram.
