CONNECTIONS
CHOOSING A VCR CONNECTION
There are several different ways to connect your VCR, depending on whether or not you have cable service, if you have a cable box to see this service, whether some of the cable channels are scrambled, and so on.
Five different connections are described in this section and one of them should provide you with a VCR connection that works.
•TV with RF jack only
•TV with audio/video jacks
•TV with audio/video jacks and cable box to unscramble pay channels only
•TV with RF jack and satellite receiver
•TV with audio/video jacks and satellite receiver
If you need to connect additional components not shown in the diagrams here (and are unsure of how to connect them), refer to the instruction manual that came with that particular component.
ADVANTAGES OF AUDIO/VIDEO CABLE CONNECTIONS
Using a simple coaxial cable connection gives you good picture quality. If your television has audio/video jacks, I highly recommend using them to get even better picture quality and stereo sound when recording and playing back videotapes. These connections give you more convenient operation by not having to share the TV’s antenna signal.
DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE
AUTO TV/VCR FEATURE
The TV/VCR switch controls whether the picture signal is coming from the VCR or the TV.
You can set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when using only the IN FROM ANT. and OUT TO TV jacks and OFF when using the AUDIO/VIDEO output
