CONNECTING YOUR VCR

Refer to these pages to help you connect your VCR.

JACKS AND CABLES

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

The RF jacks provide good picture and mono sound quality, and must be used if audio/video connections are not available for your TV.

These jacks are required for antenna or cable-TV connections. The RF jacks on the VCR are labeled ANT. IN and RF OUT. The coaxial cable supplied with your VCR is used to connect the VCR’s RF OUT jack and your TV’s antenna input.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

The AUDIO/VIDEO jacks provide very good picture quality and stereo sound, and can be used if your TV has audio/video input jacks.

RF Jack

These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between	Audio/Video Jack
components. The VCR AUDIO/VIDEO jacks are color coded
(yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio).
If your TV only has one input for audio (mono), you may need a
Y-adapter to hear sound from both channels.
