CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES
The exact arrangement you use to connect the Video Cassette Recorder, Video Disc and Video
Camera to your TV set is dependent on the model and features of each component. Check the Owner's
Manual of each component for the location of its video and audio inputs and outputs. The following
connection diagrams are offered as suggestions. However, you may need to modify them to
accommodate your particular assortment of components and features. For best performance, video and
audio cables should be made from coaxial shielded wire.
