Hooking Up the VCR
Choosing a Hookup
The hookups on pages 3 through 7 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). This type of connection may improve the picture
quality as well as convenience of operation.
