INSTALLATION
COMMON CONNECTIONS
Refer to the illustrations on Page 10 (Model 62)
or 11 (Model 112/113) for these connections.
Note:
Some connections shown in this section
might require additional supplies, available
from your local RadioShack store.
þ
Connect the VCR to
y
our TV for
pla
y
back. You can connect (choose
one):
• Your VCR’s
OUT TO TV
jack to your
TV’s antenna jack, using a 75-ohm
coaxial cable
Caution:
Never connect the VCR’s
OUT TO TV
jack to a terminal that has
an antenna already connected. Doing
so can interfere with other receivers.
• Your VCR’s
OUT TO TV
jack to your
TV’s separate VHF/UHF antenna
jacks, using a 75-ohm coaxial cable
and a VHF/UHF splitter/combiner
• Your VCR’s
AUDIO/VIDEO OUT
jacks
to your TV’s audio/video jacks, using
a stereo audio/video cable
Note:
For the best quality recordings,
use high-quality A/V cables to make
these connections.
À
Connect a si
g
nal source to the VCR
for recordin
g
. You can connect
(choose one):
• An outside antenna, using a 75-ohm
coaxial cable, to the VCR’s
IN FROM
ANT
jack
• An outside antenna, using 300-ohm
lead-in wire and a 300-to-75 ohm
transformer, to the VCR’s
IN FROM
ANT
jack
• Your CATV (cable) source, using the
75-ohm coaxial cable directly from
the cable company, to the VCR’s
IN
FROM ANT
jack
Caution:
Some state laws restrict
direct connections to cable wires
(connections that do not go through a
cable box). Check the laws in your
area before you make connections.
• A cable converter box to the VCR’s
IN
FROM ANT
jack
Note:
There are many cable TV sys-
tems in use. If you subscribe to cable
TV service and cannot record cable TV
programs, contact your local cable TV
service provider. Most cable TV service
providers offer connection help.
Ã
You can also connect an optional
video source, such as a camcorder,
another VCR, or a DSS s
y
stem to
y
our VCR usin
g
A/V cables. Simpl
y
connect it as shown.
Connection Notes:
• You can connect two video sources (three
sources for the Model 62) directly to your
VCR. To do so, you connect one source to
the
AUDIO IN 1/VIDEO IN 1
jacks on the
back of the VCR using A/V cables and the
other to the
IN FROM ANT
jack using a 75-
ohm coaxial cable (and, with the Model 62,
another source to the
AV2 AUDIO/VIDEO IN
jacks on the front of the VCR, see “Cam-
corder Connections” on Page 13).
• You can connect additional 75-ohm
coaxial sources to your system using a
high-isolation A/B switch to switch
between the sources.
• You can connect one 75-ohm coaxial
source to more than one device using a
video splitter.
Because of the complexity of the variations
possible when using additional video accesso-
ries, such as video signal switches, splitters,
and combiners, such configurations are not
shown in this manual.
