NOTE:
A monitor-style TV is not the same
as a computer monitor.
Some Dual-Deck VCR owners may have a monitor-
style TV. Monitor-style TVs offer improved picture and
sound quality over standard TVs because they receive
the video and audio signal directly from the VCR. A
standard TV receives the video and audio signal from
the VCR indirectly, through what is called an RF
modulator. This is a miniature broadcasting station in
your VCR that sends the signal to your TV. The TV
OUT connection on the back of your Dual-Deck VCR
transmits the signal from the RF modulator. The
direct VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connections give you
better quality than the RF modulator connection, in
the same way that a face-to-face conversation is
clearer than a conversation through a walkie-talkie.
If practical, use the VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connec-
tions on the back of your VCR instead of the TV OUT
connection.
To view the VCR output on the monitor, you have
to switch the monitor to ‘VIDEO,’ ‘AUX,’ or ‘LINE.’
Refer to your monitor owner’s manual for the
correct setting.
When you use these VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connec-
tions instead of the TV OUT connection, the TV/VCR
key has no effect on the picture you see when using
your VCR. But it still switches the antenna and any
device attached to ‘TV OUT.’
If you use the AUDIO OUT connections, your stereo
TV’s speakers will deliver stereo sound. If you use the
TV OUT connection, your stereo TV’s speakers will
deliver mono sound.
