Hooking Up the VCR
Choosing a Hookup
The hookups on pages 3 through 5 are divided into two hookup types; Basic (A) and Advanced (B).
The basic hookup shows the backs of TVs that have only an antenna/cable connection. It is the easier of
the two and additional accessories may not be needed.
The advanced hookup shows the VCR hooked up to a monitor/receiver (TV with audio and video jacks)
using a signal splitter. This connection may improve the picture quality as well as convenience of
operation.
