VCR to a Cable Box (Audio & Video)

Required: Two-way RF splitter, 4 coaxial cables, right and left audio cables, S-Video or composite video cable, plus component or S-Video cables and audio cables required to connect the TV to the cable box.

1.Connect the incoming cable to IN on the RF splitter.

2.Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF split- ter to CABLE IN on the cable box.

3.Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter to ANT 1/MAIN on the TV back panel. This connection also allows you to use the TV Guide On Screen® and Split Screen features.

4.Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the cable box to ANTENNA IN on the VCR back panel.

5.Connect the cable box outputs to the TV as shown in either figure 3 or figure 4 shown earlier in this chapter. This connection allows the TV to receive the best available signal directly from the cable box.

Figure 3: Component video output to the TV’s COMPONENT INPUT (YPbPr) jacks; analog stereo audio to the associated AUDIO jacks.

Figure 4: S-Video output to the TV’s INPUT/S-VIDEOjack; analog stereo audio to the associated AUDIO jacks.

6.To use the TV speakers with the VCR, connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from AUDIO OUT on the VCR back panel to INPUT/AUDIO L and AUDIO R on the TV back panel. If your VCR is mono (non-stereo), connect only the white (left) cable.

7.Connect either an S-Video or composite video cable from VIDEO OUT on the VCR back panel to INPUT/VIDEO or INPUT/S-VIDEOon the TV back panel. Connect only one type of video cable. S-Video is recommended, if available.

Optional

8.To allow recording from the TV to the VCR:

a.Connect left (white) and right (red) audio cables from AUDIO IN on the VCR to RECORD OUTPUT audio jacks on the TV back panel. If your VCR is mono (non-stereo), connect only the white (left) cable.

b.Connect a Composite Video cable from VIDEO IN on the VCR back panel to the RECORD OUTPUT Composite Video jack on the TV back panel.

Note: When using this connection configuration with con- nections used in step 5, it is possible to view live cable programs through the VCR Device. For best picture quality always view live cable programs directly from the Cable Box Device.
