CHOOSI
NG A VCR
CON N ECTION
There are several different
ways to connect your VCR,
depending
on whether
or not you have cable service, if you
have a cable box to see this service, whether
some of the cable
channels are scrambled, and so on.
Five different
connections
are described in this section and
one of them should provide you with a VCR connection
that
works.
•

•
TV with

jacks
•
TV with

jacks and cable box to
unscramble
pay channels

•

•

If you need to connect 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 CONNECTIONS
Using a simple coaxial cable connection
gives you good
picture quality,
if your television
has audio/video
jacks, I highly
recommend
using them to get even better picture quality and
stereo sound when recording
and playing back videotapes.
These connections
give you more convenient
operation
by not
having to share the TV's antenna
signal.
DON'T
FORG ET 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 set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when using only
the IN FROM ANT. and OUT TO TV jacks and OFF when using
the AUDIO/VIDEO output
jacks--so your TV signal is not
interrupted
when the VCR is turned
on. You can change the
setting
manually
by using the TVoVCR button
on the VCR or
the ANTENNA button
on the remote.
