Connecting The Vcr - Sharp VC-H998U Operation Manual

Connecting the VCR

Each type of antenna and TV system requires a different method of connection. If you have cable TV (CATV),
see page 43 for Cable TV connection.
To determine the correct type of connection, first check the type of antenna and TV terminal in use.
Make the connections as shown below.
• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of adaptor, separator, transformer or combiner that might be
required.

After the Connection
Plug in the power cords of the VCR and TV. Then go to the following Setting Up section.
Setting the 3 ↔ 4 Output Channel Selector
The 3 ↔ 4 OUTPUT CHANNEL selector changes the VCR OUTPUT to standard
TV broadcasting signals. Both your TV and VCR must be set to the same
channel (i.e. TV on channel 3 and VCR OUTPUT CHANNEL selector on 3).
Your VCR is set to channel 3 at the factory, so your TV should be tuned to
channel 3 as well. If channel 3 is an active broadcast channel in your area, set
the VCR 3 ↔ 4 OUTPUT CHANNEL selector to 4 and tune your TV to channel 4.
Selecting the Video Channel on Your TV
To view the output of your VCR on your TV, you must select the video channel (3 or 4) on your TV that
corresponds with the output channel set above.
