Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways
to connect
your
VCR,
depending
on whether
or not
you
have cable
service,
if
you
have
a cable box to see
this service, whether
some of
the cable channels are scrambled,
and so on.
Three 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
lf
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
Connections
Using
a
simple coaxial
cable connection
gives
you good
picture quality.
lf
your
television has
audio/video
jacks,
I
highly recommend
using them
to
get
even better
picture
quality
and 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
TV/]/CR
switch controls whether
the
picture
signal
is coming
from the
VCR
or the TV.
Set the
Auto TV|/CR feature
to ON when
you
use only the
RF
ANT, lN and OUT
TO TV
connections
and OFF when using the
AUDIO^/IDEO OUT
jacks-so
your
TV
signal
is not interrupted
when the VCR is turned on.
