CONNECTIONS
Before you connect the VCR, read through
these sections to determine the appropriate
portions and the best connections for the type
of terminals on your TV and other equipment
you are connecting. Keep in mind that not all
sections will apply to your installation.
Notes:
• If your audio/video system does not match
any of the examples provided, contact your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
• You can connect many different types of
audio/video systems such as a receiver/
amplifier, a satellite receiver, or a cable
system. These connections might require
additional accessories available from your
local RadioShack store.
• Disconnect power to the VCR and TV
when making connections. Do not connect
the VCR’s power cord until you complete
all other connections.

CONNECTING THE VCR FOR

PLAYBACK ONLY

You can connect your VCR to the TV in one of
these three ways so you can simply play and
watch video tapes:
• To the TV’s audio/video input jacks (if it has
A/V jacks)
• To the TV’s single VHF/UHF F-connector
• To the TV’s single VHF F-connector and
double UHF screw terminals
These connections do not let you record or
watch VHF/UHF programs. If you want to both
record and watch VHF/UHF programs, pro-
ceed directly to “Connecting the VCR for Play-
back and Recording” starting on Page 11.

Using the TV’s Audio/Video

Input Jacks

Use video quality shielded cables with phono-
type connections (such as Cat. No. 15-1538,
not supplied) to connect the VCR’s AUDIO/VID-
EO OUT jacks to your TV’s audio/video input
jacks.
Note:
Do not use standard audio cables for this
connection.
