CHOOSING
A VCR CONNECTION
There are several different ways to hook up your VCR, depending
on whether or not you have cable, and if you have cable, whether
you have a cable box, and if some of the channels are scrambled
and...well, you get the picture.
Three conne.ctions are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR hookup that works.
•
TVwith
RF Jack only
•
TVwith
audio/video jacks
•
TV with audio/video jacks and cable box to unscramble
pay
channels only
If you need to hook up additional
components
not shown in the
diagrams here (and are unsure of how to connect them), refer to
the instruction
manual that came with that particular
component.
ADVANTAGES
OF AUDIO/VIDEO
CABLE
CONN
ECTIONS
Using a simple coaxial cable connection
gives you good picture
quality.
If your television
has AN jacks, I highly recommend
using
them to get even better picture when recording
and playing back
videotapes.
These connections
give you more convenient
operation
by not having to share the TV's RF signal.
DON'T
FORGET ABOUT
TH E AUTO
TV/VCR
FEATURE
The TV/VCR switch controls whether
the picture signal is coming
from the VCR or the TV. You can change the setting manually by
using the TV•VCR button
on the remote, or you can set the Auto
TV/VCR feature to automatically
switch to VCR mode when the
VCR is turned
on. Set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when using
only RF ANTENNA connections
and OFF when using the AN
output
jacks--so your TV signal is not interrupted
when the VCR
is turned
on.
