Selecting the best hookup option

There are many ways in which your VCR can be hooked up. To hook up
your VCR so that it works best for you, first scan through the table below.
Then use the accompanying diagrams and procedures on the following
pages to set up your VCR.

If your TV has audio/video inputs, refer to pages 7 and 8 for audio/video
(A/V) hookup. Then follow one of the hookups below.

After you’ve completed the connections, follow the instructions for setup.

After you’ve completed the setup, you’re ready to use your VCR. Procedures
differ depending on the hookup you used. For an overview, refer to “Quick
reference to using the VCR” on the back cover.

Before you get started

• Turn off the power to all equipment.
• Do not connect the AC power cords until all of the connections are

completed.

• Be sure you make connections firmly. Loose connections may cause

picture distortion.

If you’re not planning to use your VCR to record programs, you’re finished
setting up the VCR after you’ve made the connections shown on pages 7 and

If you want to record off-air or off your cable TV system, complete these
connections first, and then go to the following pages for antenna or cable
hookups.

For SLV-EX90S AR and EX80S AR
