Back of the DVD/VCR
The back of your recorder might look a little overwhelming at first. This section explains what goes where and why. There are two sets of jacks on the back of your DVD/
Each jack is explained individually below, but the basic idea is about sending and receiving information to be played on or through your DVD/VCR and displaying that information on your TV screen.
INPUT The cables connected to INPUT jacks bring the signal that carries the content INTO the DVD/VCR, such as the cable signal (programming) from the cable company or satellite programming from a satellite receiver.
OUTPUT The cables connected to the OUTPUT jacks are sending the signal from the DVD/VCR OUT TO your TV so you can see it on the screen. The correct cables must be connected to the DVD/VCR’s Output jacks and the corresponding Input Jacks on the TV so you can see the program on the TV. You must also tune the TV to the correct channel, called a Video Input Channel (for details, go to page 18).
