7 Hookups
Step 3 : Hookups
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 8 and 9 for audio/video (A/V)
hookup. Then follow one of the hookups below. If your TV doesn’t have A/V inputs,
go directly to one of the hookups below.
After you’ve completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup. During
setup, if you need more details on the procedure described, page numbers are
provided where you can find complete, step-by-step instructions.
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.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are completed.
• Be sure to make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause picture
distortion.
• If your TV doesn’t match any of the examples provided, see your nearest Sony
dealer or qualified technician.
If you have Use Refer to
Antenna only, no cable TV Hookup 1 Pages 10 to 11
No cable box or cable box with only a few
scrambled channels Hookup 2 Pages 12 to 14
Cable box with many scrambled channels Hookup 3 Pages 15 to 17
8 Hookups
Audio/video (A/V) hookup
If your TV has audio/video (A/V) input jacks, you will get a better picture and sound
if you hook up your VCR using these connections. If your TV doesn’t have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
If you’re not planning to use your VCR to record programs, you’re finished setting up
the VCR after you’ve made the connections shown on pages 8 and 9. If you want to
record regular or cable TV programs, complete these connections first, and then go to
the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
For SLV-LX70S and LX60S
For a true “home theater” experience, you should connect the audio outputs of your
VCR or TV to your stereo system.
A Use this hookup if your TV has stereo jacks
B Use this hookup if your TV doesn’t have stereo jacks
Notes
• If you don’t have a stereo receiver, connect the white LINE OUT/AUDIO L jack to the
AUDIO IN jack on your TV.
• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connection.
• If you use the Trinitron TV Synchro Play function (see page 34), the A/V connection is
necessary. (If your TV has two or more inputs, connect the audio/video cable to the VIDEO
IN 1 jacks.)
