INSTALLATION

COMMON CONNECTIONS

Refer to the illustrations on Pages 9 and 10 for these connections.

Note: Some connections shown in this section might require additional supplies, available from your local RadioShack store.

þConnect the VCR to your TV for playback. You can connect:

•Your VCR’s OUT TO TV jack to your TV’s antenna jack, using a 75-ohm coaxial cable

Caution: Some state laws restrict direct connections to cable wires (connections that do not go through a cable box). Check the laws in your area before you make connections.

•A cable converter box to the VCR’s IN FROM ANT jack

Note: There are many Cable TV sys- tems in use. If you subscribe to Cable TV service and cannot record Cable TV programs, contact your local Cable TV service provider. Most Cable TV ser- vice providers offer connection help.

Caution: Never connect the VCR’s OUT TO TV jack to a terminal that has an antenna connected. Doing so can interfere with other receivers.

•Your VCR’s OUT TO TV jack to your TV’s separate VHF/UHF antenna jacks, using a 75-ohm coaxial cable and a VHF/UHF splitter/combiner

•Your VCR’s AUDIO 1/VIDEO 1 OUT jacks to your TV’s audio/video jacks, using a audio/video cable

Note: For the best quality recordings, use high-quality A/V cables to make these connections.

ÀConnect a signal source to the VCR for recording. You can connect (choose one):

•An outside antenna, using a 75-ohm coaxial cable, to the VCR’s IN FROM ANT jack

•An outside antenna, using 300-ohmlead-in wire and a 300-to-75 ohm transformer, to the VCR’s IN FROM ANT jack

•Your CATV (cable) company, using the 75-ohm coaxial cable directly from the cable company, to the VCR’s IN FROM ANT jack

ÃYou can also connect an optional video source, such as a camcorder, another VCR, or a DSS system to your VCR using A/V cables. Simply connect it as shown.

Connection Notes:

•You can connect three video sources directly to your VCR. To do so, you connect one source to the AUDIO 1/VIDEO 1 IN jacks on the back of the VCR using A/V cables, one to the IN FROM ANT jack using a 75- ohm coaxial cable, and another source to the AV2 VIDEO/AUDIO IN jacks on the front of the VCR (see “Camcorder Connections” on Page 12).

•You can connect additional 75-ohm coax sources to your system using a high-isola- tion A/B switch to switch between the sources.

•You can connect one 75-ohm coax source to more than one device using a video splitter.

Because of the complexity of the variations possible when using additional video accesso- ries, such as video signal switches, splitters, and combiners, such configurations are not shown in this manual.
