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.
TV with RF jack only
TV with 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 A/V 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 Auto TV/VCR
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 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.
