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 you 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.

you first disconnected the TV in step 1).
5. Connect accordingly when you are using 300 ohm connection. (Refer below.)
