Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways to hook up your VCR, depending
on whether or not you have cable, and if you have cable,
whether you have a cable box, and if some of the channels are
scrambled and...well, you get the picture.
Five connections are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR hookup 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 hook up 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 to
hear 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 -I'V/VCR switch controls whether the picture signal is coming
from the VCR or the TV. You can change the setting manually by
using the TV,VCR button on the remote, or you can set the Auto
TV/VCR feature to automatically switch to VCR mode when the
VCR is turned on. Set the Auto TV/VCR feature to ON when using
only RF ANTENNA connections and OFF when using the audio/
video output jacks--so your TV signal is not interrupted when the
VCR is turned on.
