Audio/video (A/V) hookup
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. For a true “home theater” experience, you should connect the audio outputs of your VCR or TV to your stereo system. If your TV doesn’t have A/V inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
If you’re not planning to use your VCR to record programs, you’re finished setting up the VCR after you’ve made the connections shown on this page. If you want to record regular or cable TV programs, complete these connections first, and then go to the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
