CHAPTER
TWO
Connecting YourVCR
Now that you're familiar
with some of your VCR's features,
you're
ready to connect the antenna
and the television.
You won't have
to complete
all of the connections
you see in this chapter
-- make
only those connections
that apply to your equipment.
You should keep in mind that
there are two steps you need to
take to connect your VCR: first, connect
the antenna
or cable to
the VCR, then connect
the VCR to the television.

Connectingthe Antennaor Cable to the VCR
The first thing you need to do is connect
the antenna
or cable.
Because
there are at least three different
types of antennas,
this
chapter
will show how to connect
all of them. You don't need to
make all the connections.
First, find out what kind of antenna
you
have. Then, make the connection
for that
type of antenna.
You
can then go to the next section,
"Connecting
the Television."
This section
shows you: "
• Connecting
cable antennas,
• Connecting
other
antennas,
and
• Connecting
separate
UHF/VHF
antennas.
Connectingcable antennas
If you have cable TV, this is the only antenna
you need to hook
up. Because
some cable companies
require
a cable box (for un-
scrambling
cable signals),
there are two kinds
of cable connec-
tions shown: with and without
a cable box.

O
Find the "source" cable. It usually
comes out of the floor or out
of a wall. If it is connected
to your TV, disconnect
it.
Connect
the cable to the ANTENNA
IN terminal
on the back
of your VCR. Screw or push the cable onto the terminal
until
it is tight.
When you are finished,
go to page 14, "Connecting
the Televi-
sion."
