Things to Consider Before Connecting Components

This Book Covers Two Models (VR546 and VR637HF)

Model VR546 (mono)

Model VR637 (hi-fi)

The graphics in this user’s guide show the VR637HF, so the jacks on the front and back of the VCR are different from those on the VR546. The VR546 also does not have the Audio menu.

Protect Components From Power Surges

Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet.

Always turn off the TV and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables.

Position Cables to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference

Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.

Place any Audio/Video (A/V) cables to the side(s) of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the back after connecting components.

Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from all A/V cables as much as possible.

Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Safety Tips sheet packed with your unit for detailed information.

Protect Components From Overheating

Never block ventilation slots in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

Do not stack components.

Allow adequate ventilation when placing components in a stand.

Place an amplifier or satellite receiver on the top shelf of a stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.
