Hooking Up Your VCR
Connections to Home Theater Receiver
You may wish to connect your VCR to a Home Theater Receiver so that you can take advantage of the Surround Sound audio recordings that are common with many movies. Home Theater Receivers often will control both the sound that is heard from the speakers and the picture shown on your TV. Below is the basic connection between your VCR and Home Theater Receiver. If you use this connection, you will not use Connections to TV with Audio Video Inputs.
1Connect the red and white audio cables to AUDIO OUT R and AUDIO OUT L on the VCR. Connect the other end to the VCR 1 AUDIO INPUT R and AUDIO INPUT L on the Home Theater Receiver.
2Connect a yellow video cable to VIDEO OUT on the VCR. Connect the other end to the VCR 1 VIDEO INPUT on the Home Theater Receiver.
3Connect a yellow video cable to the MONITOR OUT of the Home Theater Receiver. Connect the other end to the VIDEO INPUT on the back of the TV.
4See your Home Theater Receiver OwnerÕs Guide for information concerning audio connection between TV and Home Theater Receiver, or additional hookups and operations.
