Connecting a VCR

Use an analog audio cable to connect the VCR/DVR IN L/R jacks to the analog audio output jacks on the VCR, and use a video cable to connect the VCR/DVR IN V jack to the composite video output jack on the VCR. Then use an analog audio cable to connect the VCR/DVR OUT L/R jacks to the analog audio input jacks on the VCR, and use a video cable to connect the VCR/DVR OUT V jack to the composite video input jack on the VCR.

In addition, connect the MONITOR OUT jack to a composite video input jack on the TV.

You can select the video and sound from the VCR simultaneously by pressing the VCR/DVR input selector button.
