Simple Antenna/Cable 75 Ohm Hookup
This is an easy hookup that you can use if your cable or antenna has a 75 ohm round
wire connector. You will need the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR. It looks like
this:
(Refer to page 11 for 300 ohm UHF connection to the TV and antenna.)
If you have been watching the TV in your home before getting the VCR, you will already
have a round wire attached to your TV. Otherwise, look for a cable connection coming
in through the wall from outside. (If you find this connection, remember to call your local
cable company to start the service.)
1. If still hooked up to your TV, unscrew the round wire from the 75 ohm connector on
your television. Otherwise, take the wire that comes in from the wall.
2. Screw this round wire into the IN FROM ANT lower jack on the back of your VCR.
3. Using the 75 ohm cable supplied with your VCR, slide on either end to the OUT TO
TV upper jack on the back of the VCR.
4. Connect the other end of the same cable onto the 75 ohm antenna input on your TV
(where you first disconnected the TV in step 1.)
5. Connect accordingly when you are using 300 ohm connection. (Refer below.)
Capabilities: With this hookup, you should now be able to perform all the basic
functions provided by this equipment.
External or Internal 300 Ohm Antenna
If you have either an external or internal (rabbit ears) antenna rather than cable, you

In this case, you will need special adapters (not provided with VCR) to make the 75 ohm
round wire connections shown below. (You may already have one on your TV.)
1. Remove the antenna line from the back of your TV if it is already connected there, or
