Selecting the best hookup option
There are many ways in which your VCR can be hooked up. To hook up your VCR
so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below. Then use the
accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following pages to set up your VCR.
If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to pages 10 and 11 for audio/video (A/V)
hookup. Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV doesn’t have A/V inputs,
do directly to one of the hookups below.
After you’ve completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.
After you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to use your VCR. Procedures differ
depending on the hookup you used. For an overview, refer to “Quick reference to
using the VCR” on the back cover.
Before you get started
• Turn off the power to all equipment.

you connect the AC power cord before the connections are completed, you may not
be able to use the Plug and Play function.

distortion.
