MAKING CONNECTIONS

You can connect your VCP to a TV/mon- itor, a VCR (video cassette recorder), or both. To help you make the right connec- tions:

If your TV/monitor does not have separate audio and video input jacks, use the connections de- scribed in “Connecting a Standard TV.”

If your TV/monitor has separate audio and video input jacks, use the connections described in “Connect- ing a TV/Monitor.”

If you want to connect a VCR to the VCP for copying tapes, use the con- nections described in “Connecting a VCR.”

Notes:

A “standard TV” can receive broad- cast TV signals from an antenna or cable system, and can be tuned to different channels to view the broad- casts. Some standard TVs are equipped with only a 75-ohm cable/ antenna jack, while others might have separate audio and video input jacks.

A “TV/monitor” can receive signals from other video equipment (such as your VCP), but unlike a standard TV, it cannot receive (tune in) TV broadcast signals. A TV/monitor typ- ically has separate audio and video input jacks.

Note to the CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to arti- cle 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the ground- ing system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
