Audio/video (A/V) hookup

If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get better picture and sound if you hook up your DVD-VCR using these connections. If your TV does not have A/V inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups. Note that “Advanced Hookups” (page 30) explains additional hookup methods that will optimize the picture and sound for a true “hometheater” experience.

If you are not planning to use your DVD-VCR to record programs, you only need to make 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.
