Step 3: Hookups (continued)
Audio/video (A/V) hookup
Pages 8 to 9
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. In addition,
for a true “home theater” experience, you should connect the audio outputs
of your VCR or TV to your stereo system. If your TV doesn’t have A/V
inputs, see the following pages for antenna or cable hookups.
If your TV has the S-Link* (A/V bus control) function, hook up your VCR
using the connection shown on page 9. Your TV will automatically switch to
the A/V inputs for your VCR when you play back or operate menu on the
VCR.
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 off-air or off your cable TV system, complete these
connections first, and then go to the following pages for antenna or cable
hookups.
