INSTALLATION
COMMON CONNECTIONS
Refer to the illustrations on Pages 9 and 10 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 your TV for
playback. You can connect:
• 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 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 1/VIDEO 1 OUT
jacks to your TV’s audio/video jacks,
using a audio/video cable
Note: For the best quality recordings,
use high-quality A/V cables to make
these connections.
À
Connect a signal source to the VCR
for recording. 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) company, 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 ser-
vice providers offer connection help.
Ã
You can also connect an optional
video source, such as a camcorder,
another VCR, or a DSS system to
your VCR using A/V cables. Simply
connect it as shown.
Connection Notes:
• You can connect three video sources
directly to your VCR. To do so, you connect
one source to the 
AUDIO 1/VIDEO 1 IN 
jacks
on the back of the VCR using A/V cables,
one to the 
IN FROM ANT 
jack using a 75-
ohm coaxial cable, and another source to
the 
AV2 VIDEO/AUDIO IN
 jacks on the front
of the VCR (see “Camcorder Connections”
on Page  12).
• You can connect additional 75-ohm coax
sources to your system using a high-isola-
tion A/B switch to switch between the
sources.
• You can connect one 75-ohm coax 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.
