CONNECTIONS

Choosing a VCR Connection

There are several different ways to hook up your VCR, depending
on whether or not you have cable, and if you have cable,
whether you have a cable box, and if 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 hookup 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 hook up 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 antenna cable connection gives you good picture
quality. If your television has A/V jacks, I highly recommend
using them to get even better picture and sound when recording
and playing back videotapes. These connections give you more
convenient operation by not sharing the signal from the RF cable.
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. The TV/VCR feature automatically
switches the VCR to the VCR model when the VCR is turned on or
you press the PLAY button. You can change the setting manually
by using the TV•VCR button on the remote.
