¥For better picture performance, if VCR 1 has S-video, use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cable. However, do not connect both types of video cable to VIDEO 1 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

¥If VCR 1 has mono audio, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1) to the audio out terminal on VCR 1 using the white audio cable only.

¥Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input terminals on the TV at the same time.

￿To view the antenna or Cable signal:

Select the ANT 1 video input source on the TV.*

￿To view VCR 1:

Turn ON VCR 1. Select the VIDEO 1 video input source on the TV.*

￿To dub or edit from VCR 1 to VCR 2:

Turn ON both VCRs. Set VCR 2 to the appropriate line input (refer to your VCR owner’s manual for details). Select the VIDEO 1 video input source on the TV.*

Note:

¥If you have a Cable box, connect the Cable box and splitter to VCR1 as shown on page 14.
