How to connect to a stereo system

Connect the LINE-2 IN AUDIO L/R jacks on your VCR to the audio output jacks on the stereo system using the RK-C510HG audio cable (not supplied).

Notes

•Make sure you connect the plugs to jacks of the same colour.

•If the other VCR is a monaural type, leave the red plugs unconnected.

•If you connect your VCR to both the LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks of the other VCR, select the input correctly to prevent a humming noise.

•If the other VCR does not have a Scart (EURO-AV) connector, use the VMC-2106HG cable instead and connect the cable to the line out jacks of the other VCR.

Tip

• You can also use the LINE-3 IN connector instead.
