Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting two VCRs

You will need:

￿ two coaxial cables

￿ two sets of standard A/V cables

• 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 (or VIDEO 2) 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 jack on VCR 1 using the white audio cable only.

• Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input jacks on the

TV at the same time.
