Connections my brother has a 42" sylvania flat screen tv .....We do NOT know any longer how to watch any longer TV (cable) since he has purchased a SONY theater system (DVD) ......Because of this, All, he watches know is loads of MOVIES (whew)!!!!! So, I have a VCR But!! I do NOT know how to connect the, coxial (sp) ? cord (where it belongs) or the cable cord, let alone any other cord. The manual to the TV has pictures and tells what to do.....BUT!! I get an instant MIGRAINE .....PLEASE!!!!! can you help my brother, mainly because, he's paralysed....so, he NEEDS TV / MOVIES Thanks!! a concerned sister

Without the manual !!
1)VCR INPUT:: [Cable_antenna In] the coxial screws on from "output" of cable box or ( airwave )antenna.
2) VCR output:: connect another coxial into input of TV. You should be able to keep all the other wires connected from SONY theater system.
note:: your VCR has a switch for VCR\TV. When u have a VHS tape playing a movie & switch from VCR to TV, you will see the channel that is on the VCR not the cable box\ antenna input.
example:Cable channel is on Ch.122, & your TV must be set to Ch.3 to view cable.If your VCR is set to Ch/5 you may not see that Ch.122.You will still be able to see your VHS tape when u place the VCR\TV switch back to VCR.
I am going to share wt.u a $100,000,000.00 trick:put any ch.on cable box.Switch VCR\TV to TV,change channel ON VHS tuner.When u come to the [picture] that the cable box is on,Then that is the Ch.u can see cable ON the VHS.
U owe me!!
