CONNECTIONS

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 maybe you have a satellite receiver along with

cable (but no cable box), or a satellite receiver and no cable

or...well, you get the picture.

Five 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

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 Auto 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 the ANT. IN and RF OUT jacks and OFF

when using the AUDIO/VIDEO output jacks – so your TV signal is

not interrupted when the VCR is turned on.
