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.
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 mono 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.
Set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when you use only the RF IN
(FROM ANT.) and OUT (TO TV) connections and OFF when using the
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks—so your TV signal is not interrupted when
the VCR is turned on.
