Compatible Components

A wide variety of compatible Video Cassette Recorders (VCRs), camcorders,
and audio components are available.  Check with your dealer for details.
Other components can also be connected to your TV.  Refer to the component's
owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended hookup instructions.

General Cable Information

Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either coaxial antenna
cable or twin-lead cable.  Coaxial cables are shielded so they are less
susceptible to hum or interference from adjacent cables.

Most audio/video connections between components can be made with shielded
audio and video cables that have RCA-type phono connections.  When
connecting components to each other, be sure that you always connect left
outputs to left inputs and right outputs to right inputs.  If a component
has only one output (mono), connect it to the R/MONO input jack.

To connect S-VHS (Super-VHS) components, an S-VHS video cable is required.

The following accessories are available from  most dealers in case you want
to position your components farther apart or need additional cables.

Antenna Cables

Screw-on Antenna Cable

Attaches to the round antenna connectors (called 75-ohm F-type) on the back
of your VCR or TV.  The ends screw onto the connectors for a secure
connection.

Push-on Antenna Cable

Attaches to the round antenna connectors (called 75-ohm F-type) on the back
of your VCR or TV.  Ends push on for a quick connection.

Audio/Video Cables

Audio/Video Cable

Shielded cable for connecting AUDIO and VIDEO jacks.  Has an RCA-type phono
plug on each end.

Stereo Audio Cable

Double gold-tipped cable generally used for connecting stereo audio
components.

Stereo VCR Dubbing Cable

Triple cable that lets you connect the VIDEO and AUDIO jacks of stereo
components.

Monaural VCR Dubbing Cable

Double cable that lets you connect the VIDEO and AUDIO jacks of two VHS
VCR's to duplicate tapes.  Can also be used to connect a VCR to your TV.
Cable is color-coded and shielded.  Has RCA-type phono plugs on each end.

S-VHS Video Cable

Has multipin S-connector on each end for connecting S-VHS components to 
your TV.  When connecting an S-VHS component to the S-VIDEO jack on your
TV, remember to also connect the left and right audio cables to the INPUT
1 jacks because the S-VHS cable carries only the picture, not the sound.
