Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways to hook up your VCR, depending
on whether or not you have cable, and if you have cable,
whether you have a cable box, and if some of the channels are
scrambled and...well, you get the picture.
Three connections are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR hookup that works.
• TV with RF jack only
• TV with audio/video jacks
• TV with audio/video jacks and cable box to unscramble pay
channels only
If you need to hook up additional components not shown in the
diagrams here (and are unsure of how to connect them), refer to
the instruction manual that came with that particular component.
Advantages of Audio/Video Cable
Connections
Using a simple coaxial cable connection gives you good picture
quality. If your television has audio/video jacks, I highly
recommend using them to get better picture and sound quality
when recording and playing back videotapes. These connections
give you more convenient operation by not having to share the
TV’s antenna signal.
Don’t Forget About the Auto TV/VCR
Feature
The TV/VCR switch controls whether the picture signal is coming
from the VCR or the TV.
Set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when using only ANT.IN and
RF OUT jacks and OFF when using the AUDIO and VIDEO OUT
jacks--so your TV signal is not interrupted when the VCR is
turned on.
