Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting two VCRs

You will need:

one signal splitter

three 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 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.

•The VIDEO OUT signal incorporates Macrovision® copyright protection technology, which may prevent you from recording certain copy-restricted video materials.***
