In that case, hooking it up to a Commodore you would just run a patch
cable from the RCA jack on the back to the monitor directly, if you
wanted to use this as a normal TV hooked into a monitor (which I'm
assuming from the previous reply is not the monitor he has) you would
go down to radio shack and pick up a RCA->COAX connector.... It's a
Male RCA connector on one end and Female coax on the other end...
Then run a Coax wire from the VCR to the monitor and use it as a
ordinary TV.....
