If you mean channel 3 on the tuner press numeral 3 (if you do a channel scan and there is a signal on channel 3 then it will show up in the up and down channels as well).
If you mean input 3 then you would use the TV/Video button to cycle through the inputs. If you don't have the remote then try using the channel down button to go below channel 2. This sometimes will access the inputs.
