Standard VHS VCR (Not S-VHS)
These connections allow you to record TV programs and play
back tapes. For picture-in-picture viewing, use the preferred
method.
Preferred Method
Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR
to your TV if you are in an area with good signal reception.
This method uses a 2-way signal splitter to run separate
signals to the VCR and TV. This way you can view either
TV programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about the
position of the VCR’s
TV/VCR
switch. If your cable
company requires a decoder box for premium channels,
refer to page 40.
Note: The audio/video connections from the VCR to the TV are
required for picture-in-picture viewing and for you to watch tapes being
played by the VCR.
Operation: If the VCR is connected to
INPUT 1
jacks as
shown, select TV channel 91 to view whatever the VCR is
playing.
Simplified Method
Shown here is a simplified method of
connecting a VCR to your TV. This method is
best for areas with poor signal reception. If
your cable company requires a decoder box
for premium channels, refer to page 40.
Note: The audio/video connections from the VCR to the
TV are optional; however, these additional connections
usually produce a better-quality picture during VCR
playback. These connections are required, however, for
picture-in-picture viewing and for stereo playback from
stereo VCRs.
Operation: If the VCR is connected to
INPUT 1
jacks as shown, select TV channel 91 to view
whatever the VCR is playing.
If you connect a second audio/video device to
INPUT 2
, select TV channel 92 to view whatever
the second device is playing.
If you connect a second audio/video device to
INPUT 2
, select
TV channel 92 to view whatever the second device is playing.
Note: You can program your TV to automatically select the proper VCR
input channel (91 or 92) when you press the
VCR
