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.
Answer the questions to choose the hookup for your VCR.
1. How do you receive your TV signals?
Choose one answer from below.
A. Outside antenna – Turn to page 3.
B. Rabbit ears (set-top) and/ or bow tie antenna – Turn to page 3.
C. Cable System – Go to question 2.
2. What type of Cable-TV system* do you have?
Choose one answer from below.
A. Cable without a box – Turn to page 3.
B. Cable box to unscramble all the channels – Turn to page 4.
C. Cable box to unscramble only pay channels, such as HBO, Showtime,
Cinemax, etc. – Turn to page 5.
*You may need to contact your local cable company for assistance.

Types of Recordings
Your VCR provides different recording features. The following sections describe these features.
Recording Speeds
Press SPEED on the remote to select a recording speed (SP, LP, or EP). The speed you select appears on the TV screen.
SP (Standard Play) gives the best quality recording. This is why most prerecorded, rental
tapes are recorded in SP. Fewer programs can be recorded on the tape. Special effects such
as pause, frame advance, slow motion, and picture search work well in this speed.
LP (Long Play) gives twice the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special effects in
playback are not recommended in LP.
EP (Extended Play) gives three times the recording time of tapes recorded in SP. Special
effects such as pause, frame advance, slow motion, and picture search work well in this
speed.

Cleaning the VCR
Use a soft cloth or dusting attachment of your vacuum cleaner to dust your
VCR. Remove dust from the ventilation holes on the top, back, sides, and
bottom of the cabinet.
Plastic surfaces are easily scratched and can be marred by alcohol and various
solvents. Avoid excessive use of oil-based furniture polishes since the
materials used in the cabinet will accumulate more dust. We recommend using
a non-abrasive, anti-static cleaner and polisher.
