 Any other devices you want to include in the system (stereo, second VCR, etc.) 
We will guide you through this process.  But first, turn the TV and the VCR around so you are looking at 
their backs.  Note the various input and output receptacles, their shapes, and how they are labeled.  Then 
read through the rest of this hookup section before proceeding to an actual hookup. 
DO NOT TURN ON THE POWER YET.  FOR YOUR SAFETY, LEAVE YOUR TV AND VCR 
UNPLUGGED WHILE HOOKING THEM UP. 
3 Hook Up the Audio/Video Signal 
If your TV is a fairly recent model, you probably have both audio and video jacks.  Look on the back of 
your TV for three jacks - possibly color-coded yellow, white, and red.  They will be labeled something like 
IN (L and R), AUDIO IN, or VIDEO IN.  (If you are not sure, look at the back of your VCR - you will see 
two sets of these jacks.) 
 
If you have no jacks like these on your TV, skip this step and proceed to Step 4. 
TV with Audio and Video Jacks 
If you do find all three jacks on your TV, you need to purchase a three-line audio/video cable with bell 
(RCA) connectors, like this: 
 
If you find a video jack and only one audio jack, your TV is probably monaural. You can purchase a two-
line audio/video cable, but the three-line is handy in case you get a stereo TV later.
