The setup described here is a basic configuration that allows you to record TV programs on both this recorder and your
VCR. When watching recordings from this recorder, set your TV to input 1; switch to input 2 to watch a video playing
in the VCR.
Important
This recorder is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this recorder to your TV via a VCR (or
your VCR via this recorder) using AV cables, as the picture from this recorder will not appear properly on your TV.
Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and
unplugged from the wall outlet.
1 Connect your TV antenna/cable TV wall outlet to
the VHF/UHF IN jack on this recorder.
2 Use an RF antenna cable (one is supplied) to
connect the VHF/UHF OUT jack on this recorder to
the antenna input on your VCR.
If you are not connecting a VCR in the chain, connect
this recorder directly to your TV and skip the next
step.
3 Use an RF antenna cable to connect the antenna
output on your VCR to the antenna input on your TV.
4 Connect the AUDIO and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to
a set of audio/video inputs on your TV.
Use the supplied three-pin audio/video cable. It is color-
coded to help you match them up (red/white for the right/
left audio connections and yellow for video). Make sure
you match up the left and right outputs with their
corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.
5 Connect your VCR to your TV (A/V IN 2 above)
using a set of audio and video cables.
Note
See the following page if you want to use S-video or
