Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR to
your TV. This method uses a 2-way signal splitter to run
separate signals to the VCR and TV. This way you can view
either TV programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about
the position of the VCR's TV/VCR switch.
Note: When connected this way, the audio/video connections from the
VCR to the TV are required in order for you to watch tapes being
played by the VCR.
Operation:
• If the VCR is connected to INPUT 1 jacks as shown, select
channel 91 on the TV to view whatever the VCR is playing.
• If you connect a second audio/video device to INPUT 2, select
channel 92 on the TV to view whatever the second device is
playing.

Shown here is a simplified method of connecting a VCR to your
TV. The preferred method (using a 2-way signal splitter) is
shown above. On many VCRs, turning them on causes the
VCR's TV/VCR switch to go to the TV mode which internally
disconnects the antenna signals from the TV. By using a signal
splitter to run separate signals to the VCR and TV, you can view
TV programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about the
position of the VCR's TViVCR switch.
Note: The audio/video connections fromthe VCRto the TVare
optional; however,these additionalconnections usually produce a
better-qualitypicture during VCR playback. These connections are
required, however,for stereo playbackfrom stereo VCRs.
Operation:
• If the VCR is connected to INPUT 1 jacks as shown, select
channel 91 on the TV to view whatever the VCR is playing.
• If you connect a second audio/video device to INPUT2, select
channel 92 on the TV to view whatever the second device is
playing.
* Optional accessories are available from most dealers or electronics supply stores.
