How to Connect: TV + VCR + DVD Player

Connect G-LINK Cable (see page 17)

1.Connect your cable or off-air signal to ANTENNA A.

If you have cable and off-air antennas, connect the cable signal to ANTENNA A INPUT (antenna A is the only source for GUIDE Plus+ System). Connect the off-air antenna to ANTENNA B INPUT. If you have only an off-air antenna, connect it to ANTENNA A INPUT.

2.Connect your DVD Player to your TV.

Connect the DVD player’s component and audio outputs to INPUT 3 on the TV using component cables (connecting the video jack does not affect the component connection). If your DVD player has composite audio/video and an S-Video output, use INPUTs 1 or 2 and use the S-Video jack instead of the video jack.

Notes: If you are using an S-Video cable (INPUT 1 or 2) or component video cables, you must also use audio cables. The S-Video cable and component video cables only transfers video information.

If your DVD player has a component video output, we recommend you use the component video input on the TV instead of the composite video or S-Video connection. Don’t forget to also connect audio cables when using the component video cables.

3.Connect your VCR to your TV.

A.Connect the VCR’s audio/video outputs to INPUT 1 (audio/video) on the TV using composite audio/video cables.

B.Connect the VCR’s audio/video inputs to RECORD OUTPUT on the TV. This enables recording of digital programs (unless copy protected, using DVI HDTV or component video formats), as well as analog programs.

Viewing the Components

1.Turn on the TV and the component(s) you want to view.

2.Press the TV button on the remote control.

3.Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the video inputs.

The VCR can be viewed on the INPUT 1 channel.

The DVD player can be viewed on the INPUT 3 channel.

Note: You can set up the TV to automatically tune to the correct input channel. This is called Auto Tuning. (See Chapter 3 for more information.)
