CHOOSING
A VCR CONNECTION
There are several different
ways to connect your VCR, depending
on
whether
or not you have cable service, and if you have a cable box,
and whether
some of the channels are scrambled, and maybe you
have a satellite
receiver along with cable (but no cable box), or a
satellite receiver and no cable or...well, you get the picture.
Five connections
are described in this section and one of them should
provide you with a VCR connection
that works.
•
TVwith
RFjack only
•
TV with audio/video
jacks
•
TV with audio/video
jacks and cable box to unscramble
pay
channels only
•
TV with RF jack and satellite
receiver
•
TV with audio/video
jacks and satellite
receiver
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/VI
DEO CABLE
CONNECTIONS
Using a simple coaxial cable connection
gives you good picture
quality. If your television
has audio/video
jacks, I highly recommend
using thern 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.

FEATURE
The TVNCR 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 TVNCR 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.
