:    There are RF adapters that'll convert a RF signal sent out by any

: jack. Connecting to that is probably the easiest.

:    With one cable from the //c's video out thru a vcr or a
: converter/adapter does have this problem: video only, no sound. If the
: //c has a headphone jack, you can probably connect a mono Y cable to
: the VCR's audio R/L in.

Big deal...the //c has a built-in speaker...
