Connecting a VCR for Playback

Step 1: Video Connection (VCR to AV Receiver to TV)

AConnect your VCR’s video output jack to the AV receiver’s VIDEO 1 IN jack and connect the AV receiver’s MONITOR OUT jack to your TV’s video input jack.

BIf your VCR and TV have component video jacks, connect the VCR’s component video output jacks to the AV receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO VIDEO 1 IN jacks, and connect the AV receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to your TV’s component video in jacks. This offers better picture quality than composite video.

CConnect a TV antenna output jack (e.g., RF OUT) to your VCR’s antenna input, and connect your VCR’s antenna output jack to your TV’s antenna input jack.

Step 2: Audio Connection

aConnect your VCR’s audio output jacks to the AV receiver’s VIDEO 1 IN L/R jacks.
