12 Connections

Connecting your System

Before you can connect to the WebTV Network, you must connect your Internet Terminal to each of the following:

◆Your TV (either directly or through your VCR)

◆A telephone line

◆And an AC power outlet.

The type of connection you choose depends on whether your TV:

◆Has S-VIDEO, RCA-type A/V (audio/video), or RFU coaxial jacks

◆Or is connected to a VCR.

An S-VIDEO connection provides the best picture quality of all the connection options. For optimum audio performance, consider integrating the Internet Terminal into your home entertainment system.

Telephone Line Connection Options

If possible, connect your Internet Terminal to a tele- phone jack that isn’t connected to a telephone. If you have only one telephone jack, use the T-splitter to share the line. This will enable you to keep both the Internet Terminal and your telephone plugged in at the same time. Plug the T-splitter into the wall telephone jack.

If you don’t have Call Waiting service for your phone line, a person trying to call you while you’re connected to WebTV gets a busy signal.

If you have Call Waiting, see Select Dialing Options on page 31. If you activate Call Waiting and you receive a telephone call, your Internet Terminal temporarily dis- connects from the WebTV Network. When this hap- pens, your telephone will ring, and you can take the call the way you normally do. To reconnect to the WebTV Network, press the GO button on the remote. WebTV reconnects you to the page you were visiting when the call came in.

For information on disconnecting from the WebTV Network to make a telephone call, see Advanced Options/Hang Up on page 35.

If the telephones in your house are generally busy, you might consider using a separate, or dedicated, tele- phone line for the WebTV Network. Contact your local phone company to order a separate phone line.
