IMPORTANT

Never place any heavy objects on top of the VCR. Use caution when placing the VCR on top of the television because of its instability.

Choosing a Hookup

The connections shown in this book are general. Individual televisions, stereo systems and satellite receivers can vary from those shown here. The first diagrams show connections for common equipment. If you are connecting equipment such as a satellite receiver or a Home Theater receiver, you will also use those diagrams after you have connected the common equipment.

IMPORTANT

To maximize your system for its best performance, your dealer can help you customize these hookups and sell you any additional connection accessories that may be necessary to match your particular equipment and antennas.

1Make a list of each piece of equipment that you want to hook up.

2If you are connecting several pieces of equipment, you may be using more than one of these diagrams. Using your list, find EACH of the diagrams you will need to connect all of your equipment. For example, to hook up this VCR, a TV, a cable box, and a Home Theater receiver, you will use Cable System with Cable Box, and Connecting a Home Theater receiver.

3If your TV has audio and video inputs, use the diagrams on page 6 in addition to the connections on the next page.
