Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways to connect your VCR, depending
on whether or not you have cable service, and if you have a cable
box, and whether some of the channels are scrambled, and
maybe you have a satellite receiver along with cable (but no
cable box), or a satellite receiver and no cable or... well, you get
the picture.
Five connections are described in this section and one of them
should provide you with a VCR connection 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
If you need to connect 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
mono sound when recording and playing back videotapes. These
connections give you more convenient operation by not having
to share the TV’s antenna signal.
