Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways to connect your VCR, depending
on whether or not you have cable service, and if you have a cable
box, and whether 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 connection 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 connect 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 even better picture quality and to
hear stereo sound 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 TV/VCR Feature
The TV/VCR switch controls whether the picture signal is coming
from the VCR or the TV.
You can change the setting manually by using the TV•VCR button
on the remote or you can set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON
when using only RF ANTENNA connections and OFF when using
the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks--so your TV signal is not
interrupted when the VCR is turned on.
