Choosing a VCR Connection
There are several different ways to connect your VCR, depending on
whether or not you have cable service, and if you have a cable box, and
whether some of the channels are scrambled, and maybe you have a
satellite receiver along with cable (but no cable box), or a satellite receiver
and no cable or...well, you get the picture.

Using a simple antenna cable connection gives you good picture quality. If
your television has audio/video jacks, I highly recommend using them to
get even better picture quality and stereo sound when recording and
playing back videotapes. These connections give you more convenient
operation by not having to share the TV’s antenna signal.

the VCR or the ANTENNA button on the remote.
