If your outside antenna cable is a 300 ohm flat feeder, use

You can purchase an adapter at an electronics store.
If your antenna already has a round lead, simply connect it
to the terminal on the rear panel of the VCR.
Once your antenna is connected to the VCR, connect a
cable from the VCR to your TV from the “Out to TV”
