Philips 60PW9383, 55PW9383 manual Connecting a VCR, Rear of TV

Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV

The TV’s audio/video (AV) input jacks provide for direct picture and sound connections

between the TV and accessory devices such as VCRs, DVD players, and others that have AV out- put jacks.

This example, which uses the INPUT-AV 1 jacks, shows you one way to connect a VCR to your TV.

Refer to the directions-for-use manual for your VCR for further information on connections.

To make the connections shown in this example, you will need:

•one coaxial cable (75Ω)

•one cable for a video connection (standard RCA connector)

•two cables for audio connections (standard RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed for a nonstereo VCR).

NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV. You should be able to buy them at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

1 Connect a cable TV or antenna signal to the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR.

HELPFUL HINTS

•Stereo sound will pass from the ANT OUT jack on the VCR to the ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack on the TV only when the VCR is in TV mode. This is the mode that allows the TV to use its channel selector.

•To simplify making connections, audio and video cables often have color-coded plugs. The jacks on your TV are likewise color coded to match the plugs. The cod- ing is as follows:

—Yellow for video (composite) —Red for the right audio channel —White for the left audio channel

NOTE: If your VCR is mono (non- stereo), you will connect only one audio cable. You must ensure that the TV is set to MONO for the signal source to which you’ve connected the VCR (INPUT-AV 1, INPUT-AV2, or the side panel inputs [AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive sound from only one of the TV’s speakers. See page 38.

You can display the AV1, AV2, or AV3 signal sources in the PIP window. See page 8 of the Quick Use and Setup Guide for information on
