Palsonic 6138 - Manual (Page 12)

OUT Sockets
These sockets take the signal OUT of the TV set and feed it TN to the VCR. They are hardly
ever used. Most VCR’s have their own Tuner built in and do not need the TV set to tune
the TV channel for them. The usual setup is to give the VCR the antenna, and feed the TV
set out of the VCR’s RF output. (This loops the antenna signal through and shares it). See
your VCR manual.
The exception to this is if you are dubbing one VCR off another. The connection for this is
shown later.
IN Sockets
These sockets take the signal OUT of the VCR and feed it IN to the TV set. The main confusion in
connecting a VCR to a TV, is that both have a set of sockets, and what is OUT
for one is IN for the other. The VCR OUT sockets go to the TV IN sockets. Think about it
for a moment.
For a full Stereo hookup you will need three leads which can be bought at Tandy or Dick
Smith, and some Video Stores. If the VCR has a SCART socket (which combines all six
sockets in one), then you will need a SCART to RCA set. (The TV set uses RCA sockets).
The various connections are shown in detail below.
Antenna
The VCR can be connected to the TV set through its antenna. For details of this, see the
section "Tuning a VCR" earlier in this manual.
