SETUP AND CONNECTIONS

SAMPLE CONNECTIONS

The following are sample connection scenarios you may encounter when connecting components to your TV. Note: if you connect an S-VIDEO cable, you must also connect an Audio/Video cable to the AUDIO R and L jacks.

Cables

You will use the following types of cables to make your connection:

Coaxial Cables: Carries the signal from the antenna or cable directly to the television or through a cable box, as needed by your cable system.

Audio/Video Cables: Carries audio and video from a component to the TV.

S-Video Cable: Carries video from an S-Video capable component which provides best picture quality.

TV and Stereo VCR

Compared to the Basic Connection, using Audio/Video and S-Video (if available) cables will enhance the sound and picture quality from a component.

Cautions:

Position cables to avoid audio hum or interference

Insert all cables firmly into jacks.

Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the middle.

Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables.

Protect your components from overheating

Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

Do not stack components.

Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

Place an amplifier on the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not flow around other components.

How to View Your VCR

To watch the VCR in this connection, press TV to put the remote control into TV mode, then press WHO•INPUT to toggle to the video (VID) inputs.

In the Interactive Setup section you can program the TV to automatically tune to the VID input channel when you turn on the VCR.

Most Audio/Video cables are combined into one cable with three heads on each end.
