Getting Started (Hookups cont.)
Look at the back of your TV for a connector that looks like one of these, and follow the
corresponding hookup option. If you have any sort of cable box, see the hookup options in
Advanced Operations (page 75).
Simple Antenna/Cable 75 Ohm Hookup
This is an easy hookup that you can use if your cable or antenna has a 75 ohm round wire
connector. You will need the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR. It looks like this:
If you have been watching the TV in your home before getting the VCR, you will already have
a round wire attached to your TV. Otherwise, look for a cable connection coming in through
the wall from outside. (If you find this connection, remember to call your local cable company
to start the service.)
1. If still hooked up to your TV, unscrew the round wire from the 75 ohm connector on your
television. Otherwise, take the wire that comes in from the wall.
2. Screw this round wire into the IN FROM ANT jack on the back of your VCR.
3. Using the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR, slide on either end to the OUT TO TV jack
on the back of the VCR.
4. Connect the other end of the same cable onto the 75 ohm antenna input on your TV (where
you first disconnected the TV in step 1).
Capabilities: With this hookup, you should now be able to perform all the basic functions
provided by this equipment.
