Connecting Your

Dual-Deck VCR to Your TV or Monitor

Note:

Your exact hookup will depend on whether or not you subscribe to cable TV, and whether you have a cable converter box or other equipment (such as a laser disc player, satellite receiver, etc). See the Reference Guide for additional hookups.

You can hook up your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR in exactly the same way as you hook up any other VCR. If you already own a VCR, take a few minutes to note how this VCR is hooked up. Then, simply swap the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR with your old VCR, using the same settings and connections. Here are some things you should take note of in your current hookup:

1.Which cable attaches to the VCR’s IN jack on the back of the VCR.

2.Which cable attaches to the OUT jack on the back of the VCR.

3.Which channel your TV is tuned to.

4.Which channel, 3 or 4, is set on the back of your VCR.

5.If you have a cable converter box leading into your VCR, you will need to note which channel (2, 3, or 4) your VCR is tuned to.
