Basic hookups
Audio/video (A/V) hookup
If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if
you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that “Advanced
Hookups” (page 49) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the
picture and sound for a true “hometheater” experience.
If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to
make the connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV
programs, complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for
antenna or cable hookups.
A
Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks
B
Use this hookup if your TV does not have stereo jacks
Notes
• To play a tape/disc in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.
• If you do not have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the
AUDIO IN jack on your TV.
