12 Getting Started

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get a better

picture and sound if you hook up your VCR using these connections.

In addition, for a true “home theater” experience, you should connect

the audio outputs of your VCR or TV to your stereo system. If your TV

has an S-video input jack, you will enjoy an even better picture if you

connect to the TV with the supplied S-video cable.

If your TV doesn’t have A/V inputs, see the following pages for

antenna or cable hookups.

If you’re planning to use your VCR only to play back pictures and

movies, you’re finished setting up the VCR after you’ve made these

connections. If you want to record off-air or off your cable TV system,

complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for

antenna or cable hookups.

A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks

B Use this hookup if your TV doesn’t have stereo jacks
