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 connections are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR hookup that works.
• _with RFjackonly
• 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
CONNECTIONS
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 quality when recording and
playing back videotapes. These connections give you more
convenient operation by not sharing the signal from the RF cable.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE AUTO TV/VCR
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 TVoVCR button on the remote, or you can set the Auto
TVNCR feature to automatically switch to VCR mode when the
VCR is turned on. Set the Auto TVNCR feature to ON when using
only ANT.IN and RF OUT jacks and OFF when using the AN output
jacks--so your TV signal is not interrupted when the VCR is turned
on.
