MAKING CONNECTIONS
You can connect your VCP to a TV/monitor,
a VCR (video cassette recorder), or both. To
help you make the right connections:
• If connecting a TV, use the connections
described in “Connecting a Standard
TV” on Page 7.
A standard TV can receive broadcast TV
signals from an antenna or cable system,
and can be tuned to different channels
to view the broadcasts. It does not have
separate audio and video input jacks.
• If connecting a monitor or TV/monitor,
use the connections described in
“Connecting a TV/Monitor” on Page 8.
(You need an additional audio/video
cable to make this connection.)
A TV/monitor is like a standard TV, but
it also has separate audio and video
input jacks. Using the separate audio
and video input jacks results in a better
quality picture and sound.
• If you want to connect a VCR to the
VCP for copying tapes, use the
connections described in “Connecting a
VCR” on Page 9. (You need an
additional audio/video cable to make
this connection.)
Note to the CATV System Installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installer’s attention to article 820-40
of the National Electrical Code that provides
guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system
of the building, as close to the point of cable
entry as practical.
