Operating Instructions

DIGITAL CABLE BOX USERS: Do not use this connection. The TO CONVERTER jack is not compatible with digital boxes.

Optional connection

For better picture quality, use S VIDEO instead of the yellow video cable. S VIDEO does not provide sound, so you still must connect the audio cables.

To activate your remote, press to operate your VCR or to operate your cable box. To do this, first program your remote control, then use the Channel Fix feature to set your TV to channel 3 or 4 (see page 33).
