Hooking Up Your VCR

Unpacking Your VCR

As you unpack your new VCR, please make sure the following items are included:
IMPORTANT
Never place any heavy objects on top of the VCR. Use caution when
placing the VCR on top of the television as the surface may not be
stable.

Choosing a Hookup

The connections shown in this book are general. Individual televisions and stereo systems can vary from those shown
here. The first diagrams show connections for common equipment. Then, if you are connecting equipment such as an
integrated HDTV, an IEEE 1394-equipped HDTV receiver or a Home Theater receiver, you will also use those diagrams
after you have connected the common equipment.
IMPORTANT
To maximize your system for its best performance, your dealer can
help you customize these hookups and sell you any additional
connection accessories that may be necessary to match your
particular equipment and antennas.
1Make a list of each piece of equipment that you want to hook up.
2If you are connecting several pieces of equipment, you may be using more than one of these diagrams. Using your
list, find EACH of the diagrams you will need to connect all of your equipment. For example, to hook up this VCR, a
TV, a cable box, and a Home Theater receiver, you will use Cable System with Cable Box, and Connecting a Home
Theater receiver.
3If your TV has audio and video inputs, use the diagrams on page 7 in addition to the connections on page 5 or 6.
