Hooking Up the VCR

Choosing a Hookup

The hookups on pages 3 through 5 are divided into two hookup types: Basic (A) and Advanced (B).

The basic hookups show the backs of TVs that have only an antenna/cable connection. It is the easier of the two and additional accessories may not be needed.

The advanced hookups show the VCR hooked up to a monitor/receiver

(TV with audio and video jacks). This connection may improve the picture quality as well as convenience of operation.
