How to Connect: TV + VCR + DVD Player

Connect G-LINK Cable (see page 23)

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

If you have cable and an off-air antenna, connect the cable signal to ANTENNA A INPUT (antenna A is the only source for the 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 (Y PB PR) and audio outputs to INPUT 3 on the TV using component cables. 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 transfer 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 Input Channels.

•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 Video Input Channel. This is called Auto Tuning. (See Chapter 3 for more information.)

HDLP61 specifications

The RCA HDLP61 is a high-definition rear-projection television that was introduced in the early 2000s, capturing the attention of consumers seeking a balance between performance and affordability in large screen televisions. With its sleek design and impressive specifications, the HDLP61 quickly became a popular choice for home entertainment.

One of the primary features of the RCA HDLP61 is its substantial 61-inch screen, which allows for an immersive viewing experience. The television utilizes DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology, a key aspect that contributes to its high-quality picture display. DLP technology relies on a digital micromirror device (DMD) to reflect light and create images, which results in vibrant colors and sharp details. This technology also minimizes the risk of image burn-in that can be a concern with other display types such as CRT and plasma.

The HDLP61 supports a native resolution of 720p, providing clear and crisp images that enhance the viewing of high-definition content. Additionally, it is compatible with 1080p signals, making it a flexible choice for various types of media sources, including cable, satellite, and Blu-ray players. The television also features a 16:9 aspect ratio, which aligns perfectly with modern high-definition content.

In terms of connectivity, the RCA HDLP61 is equipped with multiple input options, including HDMI, component, and S-Video ports, allowing users to connect various devices such as gaming consoles, DVD players, and streaming devices with ease. This versatility ensures that users can enjoy a wide range of entertainment options on the large screen.

Another notable characteristic of the HDLP61 is its built-in audio system, which includes speakers that deliver decent sound quality, complementing the visual experience. However, audiophiles may opt to connect external sound systems for a more robust audio experience.

The RCA HDLP61 is also designed with user-friendly controls and features, including an intuitive on-screen menu that makes navigating settings a breeze. The television also includes features such as adjustable brightness, contrast, and color settings, allowing users to customize their viewing experience according to personal preference.

Overall, the RCA HDLP61 stands out in the realm of rear-projection televisions because of its combination of advanced DLP technology, vast connectivity options, and user-friendly design. It continues to be remembered as a budget-friendly option that delivered good performance during its time in the consumer electronics market.
