“I lose Stereo sound when I turn on my VCR.”
If your TV and VCR are connected with an RF Cable, you will only hear stereo sound if the VCR is turned off. To hear stereo sound with the VCR turned on, you must connect the TV and VCR with RCA Cables (see Advanced Connections, page 43). Connect the VCR’s “Left/Right Audio Out” jacks to the TV’s “Left/Right Audio In” jacks. Please note: With this connection, you will need to watch the VCR from the “Video” or “Aux” position of the TV tuner instead of channel 3 (or 4).
