Connecting Your

Dual-Deck VCR

This chapter will walk you through the necessary steps to hook up your VCR. Your Dual-Deck VCR connects to

your TV and antenna in exactly the same way as any other VCR. If you already own a VCR, take a few minutes to note how it is hooked up. Then simply swap the Dual-Deck with your old VCR using the same settings and connections.

Choosing the Right Hookup

Choose the appropriate hookup from the following list:

1 If you are connecting your Dual-Deck VCR to a basic antenna or cable system, use the Basic Antenna/ Cable Hookup on page 8.

2 If you have a cable system with a converter box (some or all channels are scrambled or premium), you have two choices:

a.Cable Converter Box Hookup - Pro: You can watch and record any cable channel to which you subscribe. Con: You cannot watch a second channel while you are recording a cable channel. See page 39.

b.Alternative Cable Converter Box Hookup - Pro:

You can watch a second channel while you are recording a TV program. Con: You can only record non-scrambled channels. See page 40.

3 If you wish to listen to your TV and VCR through your stereo system, see Audio Connections on page 42.

4 If you have a TV with audio/video input jacks and desire better quality, you can connect your VCR to your TV with RCA cables. See Monitor Connections on page 43.

5 If you wish to connect your Dual-Deck VCR to another VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, video camera, camcorder, satellite receiver or video game, see Connecting Other Video Equipment on page 44.
