Connections for a Standard-Definition TV and VCR
When using the 1540C with an SDTV, you must make one of the following connections to view content. Some
SDTVs may not have all of these connections. In addition, you can make connections to a VCR to archive
recordings to a VCR tape. Refer to your TV and VCR user guides and the cabling diagrams in this guide for
more information.
Note:
The labeling on your 1540C, TV, and VCR may vary from the labels shown in the following table.
