Monitor
Connections
Some Dual-Deck VCR owners may have a monitor style TV.
Monitor style TV’s offer improved picture and sound quality
over standard TV’s, because they receive the video and audio
signal directly from the VCR. A standard TV receives the video
and audio signal from the VCR indirectly, through what is
called an RF modulator. This is a miniature broadcasting
station in your VCR that sends the signal to your TV. The OUT
TO TV connection on the back of your Dual-Deck VCR trans-
mits the signal from the RF modulator. The direct VIDEO and
AUDIO OUT connections give you better quality than the RF
modulator connection, in the same way that a face-to-face
conversation is clearer than a conversation through walkie-
talkies.
If you have a monitor style TV, or if your TV has separate
video and audio input connections, use the VIDEO and AUDIO
OUT connections on the back of your VCR instead of the OUT
TO TV connection.
To view the VCR output on the monitor, you may have to
switch the monitor to “VIDEO”, “AUX”, or “LINE”. Refer to
your monitor’s owner’s manual for the correct setting.
When you use these VIDEO and AUDIO OUT connections
instead of the OUT TO TV connection, the
TV/VCR
key has no
effect. It is as if the
TV/VCR
key were always set on VCR.
If you use the AUDIO OUT connections, your stereo TV’s
speakers will deliver stereo sound. If you use the OUT TO TV
connection, your stereo TV’s speakers will deliver mono sound.
Note:
A monitor style TV is not
the same thing as a
computer monitor.
Note:
If you want to use the
AUDIO OUT connection to
take advantage of stereo
sound, you will need to
use the VIDEO OUT
connection as well.
