4 Hook up the RF Signal
Look at the back of your TV for a connector that looks like one of these, and follow the
corresponding hookup option. If you have any sort of cable box, see the hookup
options in Advanced Operations (page 71).
Simple Antenna/Cable 75 Ohm Hookup
This is an easy hookup that you can use if your cable or antenna has a 75 ohm round
wire connector. You will need the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR. It looks like
this:
If you have been watching the TV in your home before getting the VCR, you will already
have a round wire attached to your TV. Otherwise, look for a cable connection coming
in through the wall from outside. (If you find this connection, remember to call your local
cable company to start the service.)
1. If still hooked up to your TV, unscrew the round wire from the 75 ohm connector on
your television. Otherwise, take the wire that comes in from the wall.
2. Screw this round wire into the IN FROM ANT jack on the back of your VCR.
3. Using the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR, slide on either end to the OUT TO
TV jack on the back of the VCR.
4. Connect the other end of the same cable onto the 75 ohm antenna input on your TV
(where you first disconnected the TV in step 1.)
