The RF or VHF connections (also called the modulator connections) provide good picture
and good mono ("non-stereo") sound quality. Be aware that even if you have a TV and
other equipment that support stereo sound, this type of connection will give you only
non-stereo sound.
If you connect a cable TV box or a broadcast TV antenna to the recorder, use the VHF/UHF
Ant. In connection for the local programming signal input. Use the TV Phono (RCA)
Audio/Video Output or S-VIDEO connections for the output if possible, as using the RF
Out ( RF or VHF Connection) will not provide the best quality video on broadcast or cable
channels.
This is the simplest cabling scheme, and many people prefer it because of its ease of
installation and use. The RF or VHF connections require that you keep the TV tuned to
either channel 3 or 4 to view satellite channels. You also need to set the Channel 3/4 switch
on the recorder's back panel to match this channel.

equipment does not support S-VIDEO (see following).
