SEPARATE VHF AND UHF ANTENNAS

A clear picture will not be obtained by the VCR unless the antenna signal is good. Connect the antenna to
the VCR properly.
For better quality recording, an indoor antenna or a telescopic antenna is not recommended. The use of an
outdoor type antenna is required.
If you are not sure about the connection, please refer to qualified service personnel.

BASIC CONNECTIONS

If you are using an antenna system, follow the instructions on pages 14-17. If you are a cable (CATV) subscriber,
skip ahead to page 18 for the proper connections.

ANTENNA TO VCR CONNECTION

The VCR must be connected "between" the antenna and the TV. First, disconnect the antenna from the TV and connect
it to the VCR. Then connect the VCR to the TV. Below are 3 common methods of connecting an antenna system to a
VCR. Find the type of antenna system you are using and follow the connection diagram. After you have connected the
antenna to the VCR, follow the instructions on pages 16-17 to connect the VCR to the TV.
