Helpful Hints

Audio and video cables are not supplied with the TV. Audio cables are usually marked with red and white. Video cables (CVBS) are usually marked with yellow.

You can connect the anten- na or Cable TV signal to either the ANTENNA IN jack on your VCR or to the

75OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the TV. If you connect it to the VCR, choose TV channels at the VCR. Connect it to the VCR if you want to record TV programming through the VCR.

Your VCR may not have Audio and Video Out jacks, but only an RF or ANTEN- NA OUT jack. Use an RF coaxial cable to connect the VCR’s ANTENNA OUT jack to the TV’s 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack.

There are more AUDIO and VIDEO IN jacks at the lower-right corner of the rear of the TV. These are the AUDIO and VIDEO IN 1 jacks. Use these if you have more equipment to connect to the TV. To view material playing on equipment connected to these jacks, select the VIDEO 1 channel at the TV. (Press TV/AV/EXIT so VIDEO 1 appears in the top right corner of the TV screen.)

There is also an S-VIDEO IN jack in this area. Use S-Video connections instead if your DVD Player, Camcorder, etc., has an S-Video Out jack. S-Video provides a clearer picture than the standard CVBS video (the yellow jack). Choose the VIDEO 1 channel to view material playing on equipment connect- ed to the S-VIDEO IN jack.

Use either the S-VIDEO IN 1 jack or the VIDEO IN 1 jack.You cannot use both at the same time for the same piece of equipment. Doing so would interfere with the picture display.
