HOOKING UP YOUR COMPUTER
IS EASY
Connecting your computer takes longer to
describe than to do, and there is almost noth
ing you can do in the process that will hurt
the computer. To connect your computer to a
home TV, simply perform the steps shown in
the photos and easy-to-follow instructions pre
sented in this section. Where the instructions
differ between the VIC and the 64, follow the
instructions for the type of computer that you
have. [If you are using a monitor instead, fol
low the directions that came with your
computer.)
CONNECTING THE TV/GAME
SWITCH BOX
To hook either the VIC or the 64 to a TV, the
only tool you'll need is a screwdriver that fits
the screws on your TV's antenna connection.
Before you start, it is a good idea to write
down exactly how the TV is connected to the
antenna wire or cable. Then you can put
things back as they were. Write down
or draw a sketch of the TV antenna connec
tions now.
IF YOUR TV HAS A FLAT ANTENNA WIRE,
follow Steps 1 -3.
IF YOUR TV HAS A ROUND ANTENNA
CABLE, follow Steps 4-5.
STEP 1
Disconnect the flat antenna wire from the VHF
(Very High Frequency) connectors on the back
of the television. This usually involves loosen
ing two screws and sliding out two spade-
shaped connectors attached to the flat
antenna wire.
STEP 2
Attach these same two spade connectors
under the two screws at the bottom of the
TV/game switch box.
STEP 3
Then, attach the spade connectors on the simi
lar wire that comes out of the side of the TV/
game switch box to the VHF antenna screws
on the back of the TV. This puts the switch
box in line with the original antenna hookup
so all VHF antenna signals go first through the
switch box, then into the TV.
STEP 4
For a TV with a direct 75 ohm connector
cable, there are different steps to perform.
