INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
& ANTENNA
SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Place your Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) in a
horizontal position on a solid, stable surface near
your TV.
Connect the VCR AC plug into a non-
switched AC outlet.
Before you can use your
VCR, the TV antenna connection must be moved
to the VCR.
Then new connections must be
added from the VCR to the TV.
An accessory
for common connections is included with your
VCR.
If your installation requires other access-
ories, they may be purchased at your Dealer or
Electronic Parts Stores.
There are several in-
stallations shown in the following figures.
Select
the figure which best matches your "IV signal
source,
equipment
features,
and
operating
needs. TV broadcasts in your area may be VHF,
UHF, or both.
In a UHF-only area, use figure A3
for VHF and UHF connections between the VCR
and TV.
The VHF connection from VCR to TV
is always needed for the VCR output channel of
VHF Channel 3 or 4.
Even if your VCR has Cable
Tuning Ability (CTA), cable channels can only be
received by connection to e Cable Service.
CABLE SYSTEMS
Cable system features and services vary in each
local area.
If you presently use your TV with a
cable system, please read CABLE SYSTEMS IN-
FORMATION on page 12 before making any con-
nections.

Precautions
•
Avoid extreme heat, cold, moisture,
dust,
magnetic fields, and strong vibrations.
•
Protect the VCR from household pets.
•
In areas with frequent electri(:al storms, lightn-
ing protection devices attached to the ca-
ble/antenna should be checked each year for
good connections and condition.
AC power
line Surge Protection accessories are recom-
mended for the VCR and TV.
Such devices
are commonly used for coml_Jter protection,
and will minimize damage to the TV and VCR
in the event of AC surge from lightning strike
or other cause.
Whenever possible, the TV
and VCR should be unplugged from AC, and
disconnected from the antenna/cable during
electrical storms.
CAUTION:
Do not place the VCR by a window where it
will be exposed to strong sunlight as it may
malfunction.
ACCESSORY
PROVIDED
WITH VCR
COAXIAL
CABLE
Rabbit ear antenna
Your VCR can be used with this type of antenna
only if the picture is very clear and stable. When
the antenna is part of the TV, the leads may not
reach the VCR.
You can either extend the leads,
or obtain a movable rabbit ear antenna.
We
recommend using an outside antenna.
Note:
If your "IV has single antenna
input
(UHF/VHF),
use figure AI.
