Video Connections - Sony CMT-CQ1 - Micro Hi Fi Component System Manual

These screw-type speaker terminals on the back of an A/V
receiver make for extremely reliable, secure connections.
Radio Frequency (RF) connections. This is the only way to connect a rooftop
antenna, cable TV service or satellite TV antenna feed. You also need an RF
connection to carry the antenna or cable signal from your VCR to the television.
While you can watch VCR tapes as "Channel 3" or "Channel 4" on your television,
this use of the RF connection can degrade color, detail and sound quality. You'll get
better picture and sound when you watch tapes using the composite video and line-
level audio connections. RF connection uses a coaxial cable with screw-on "F-type"
plugs.
RF connections like this are only appropriate for rooftop antenna
feeds, cable TV service and satellite antenna feeds. Avoid them
for other source component connections.
