How Do You Hook Up A VCR To Portable TV?
• Look at the back of the VCR. We’ll want to attach a length of coaxial to the OUT connector of the VCR. • Obtain an adapter. If you want to look professional and have a reliable cable, you’ll need to purchase an adapter (usually available at Radio Shack and similar stores). Ask the salesperson for a “female F to a male mini (or mini jack)” and look at what you get. It should have a set of threads (like the back of the VCR) into a 1/8″ mono jack. So this adapter threads onto the end of the cable from the VCR and plugs directly into the antenna input of your portable TV. Turn on your portable TV and tune it to channel 3/4, depending on your VCR’s setting. The VCR needs to have “TV/VIDEO” set to video, which is done automatically by playing a videotape in the VCR. And there’s your VCR playing on your portable TV.
