I did some reading the tuner is some auto channel changer, one button. I tried playing with the flat head adjustments, it still auto rolls. Press the button and it will skip most channels, including 3 and 4, rf channels i need to run a satellite receiver.

Thank god i was able to push the tuner button to 4 with my finger. Hooked up my receiver and bam nice pic. Granted it's mono but still pretty nice sound it has two 6 x 9 speakers. Maybe when i get some experience i may try too adjust the picture, it tilts to the left a little, but for the time being i don't want too mess with it.

There are 8 graphs on the tuner panel. with adjustment buttons labeled alphabetically, each one has an adjustment knob, does anybody know what they do?


edit: learned another thing too. aside from wanting to see a raster with snow, change the god damn channel during a potential buy!!
