Connecting a VCR

Note: If the VCR has an S-Video jack, connect the VCR using the S-Video jack. S-Video provides better video than standard AV. For more information, see “Connecting an S-Video device” on page 12.

To connect a VCR:

•Connect one end of a standard AV cable (not included) into the AV1 IN jacks on the back of the TV, then connect the other end of the cable to the AV OUT jacks on the VCR.

Notes:

•We recommend using a 75-Ohm, coaxial cable to reduce interference and noise that may be caused by radio wave transmissions.

•Do not bundle the coaxial cable with the power cord or any other cables.

•If you are using an antenna and reception is not good, contact a service technician to adjust the antenna.

Note: Cable connectors and jacks are often color-coded. Match the colors when you connect the AV cable.
