Here's how and why to connect your Apple IIGS to a VCR.
How: use a normal Apple IIGS video cable to connect the Apple IIGS's video
output to the VCR's camera input. (Video cables are available in several
lengths.) Set the VCR to "camera."
Why: This arrangement lets you use the television that's connected to the VCR
as a computer monitor -- and you don't have to use an RF modulator. Because
the VCR thinks the computer is a camera, you can save whatever the computer
displays on video tape. Use a drawing program, for example, to make title
screens for your live-action videos, or use an animation program to make your
own cartoon videos.
