2 Connect this cable to the 75Ω coaxial socket marked on the

rear of your VCR.

3 Plug the coaxial cable supplied into the socket on your VCR.
4 Plug the other end of the coaxial cable into the connector

previously used for the aerial on the television.

5 To obtain better quality pictures and sound on your television, you

(see section below) if your television is equipped with this type of
connection.
