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.

TV with audio/video]acks

and cable box to unscramble
pay

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 antenna cable connection
gives you good picture
quality,
If
your television
has audio/video]acks,
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
FORGET
ABOUT
THE
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]acks
and OFF when using the AUDIO/VIDEO
output]acks--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.
