Video Disc Player (or Video Cassette Player) Connections
(VCR-1/VDP)
Connect the VIDEO output of the video disc player to the
TX-890/870 (VIDEO) VCR-1/VDP “PLAY” jack and the AUDIO
output to the (AUDIO) VCR-1/VDP “PLAY” jacks. The VCR-1/VDP
jacks are only for playback, there is no REC jack. If the audio output
from the video unit is monaural, connect to VCR-2. For more details,
refer to the video disc player instruction manual.
Video Cassette Recorder Connections (VCR-2)
1. Connect the VIDEO output of the VCR to the rear panel (VIDEO)
VCR-2 “PLAY” jack and the VIDEO input of the VCR to the rear
panel (VIDEO) VCR-2 “REC” jack. Then connect the AUDIO
output of the VCR to the (AUDIO) VCR-2 Land R “PLAY” jacks.
Finally, connect the AUDIO input of the VCR to the (AUDIO)
VCR-2 L and R “REC” jacks.
2. When using a monaural VCR (having a single audio input and
output), set the VCR-2 “MODE” switch on the rear panel to
“MONO” and use either the R or L audio jacks. If the switch is
in the “STEREO” position, sound will be heard from only the
right or left speaker system.

4. For more details, refer to the VCR instruction manual.
TV Connections (MONITOR)
1. Connect the TV VIDEO input to the TX-890/870 MONITOR
“OUT” jack. There is no need to perform an audio connection
since sound will be sent directly from the TX-890/870 to the
speaker systems.
2. The TX-890/870 does not have an RF converter. Therefore, it
can be used with only a monitor TV equipped with a video input
jack.
3. Since the television set, tuner (FM/AM) section of this unit can
cause interference that may disrupt sound and/or picture quality,
the TV and TX-890/870 and their respective connection cables
should be placed as far apart as possible. The use of a common
TV/FM antenna is not recommended (see antenna section).
