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.
Three connections are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR hookup that works.
l
TV with RF Jack only
l
TV with audio/video jacks
l
TV with audio/video jacks and cable box to unscramble pay
channels only
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 A/V jacks, I highly recommend using
them to get even better picture and sound quality when
recording and playing back videotapes. These connections give
you more convenient operation by not sharing the signal from
the RF cable.
DON’T FORGET ABOUTTHE TV/VCR FEATURE
The TVNCR switch controls whether the picture signal is coming
from the VCR or the TV.
Model VR344: The TVNCR feature automatically switches the VCR
to the VCR mode when the VCR is turned on or you press the
PLAY button. You can change the setting manually by using the
TV*VCR button on the remote.
Model VR519 Only: Set the AUTO TVNCR feature to ON when
using only RF ANTENNA connections and OFF when using the AN
output jacks--so your TV signal is not interrupted when the VCR is
turned on.
