Hello there, To hook up the TV and VCR: 1: take aerial cable (the aerial), plug that into the VCR label aerial (back of VCR; what ever the name is as long as it mentions aerial) 2: take the TV cable (no, not the POWER cable but similar to that of the aerial cable but has male/female ends, connect one end to the VCR (RF out) and the other to the TV (if doesn't fit reverse cable; REMEBER, DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING OR IT WILL LEAD TO DAMAGE OF DEVICES) If you have RCA cables at the back of the TV, do the following, 1: take a three plug cable (RCA; Red & White (Letf & right speackers; stereo) & Yellow (picture), plug the red & white RCA into the corresponding colors on the TV INPUT section (RECEIVING sound and pic from VCR to TV = INput) 2: repeat above but this is for the VCR and connect into the OUTPUT section (SENDING sound and pic from VCR to TV = OUTput) Check: 1: Pick a channel that you want to designate as an AV; Audio/Video (VCR channel to watch videos & Record) channel and place in a tape and play it (let it contiune playing until step two is completed) 2: on the TV continue tuning until you receive the playing video, then you're done. You'll got through a series of frequencies ie VHF, UHF, etc. before you'll get to the video pic. Be patient if you have to manually tune. 2.1: if you have auto tune use it and continue until you have the video image from the playing video. As for the satellite, 1: you must have the decoder box in order to receive satellite signals 2: connect the cable from the satellite dish (srew type & designed) to the input of the decoder 3: take the cable as mentioned above (TV/VCR; standard) or special cable (srew type & designed) and connect the srew end to the box and the other end to the TV (standard where applicable). 4: the TV must have a double adapter for both box cable and VCR (viewing video); buy one at your nearest electronic store. Ask for a double adaptor for the aerial of the TV. Connect box cable to TV, another cable to TV to VCR (RF out) PS. It is possible that the decoder may have only one output (to prevent recording) therefore you may need an additional aerial for local channels only. I hope this has helped... :) PS. If in doubt, use the VCR manual (pics) to assist you in my description
