Presented here is a connection example
involving a VCR and cable box.
Refer to the VCR’s directions-for-use manual
for further information on connections.
To make the connections in this example, you
will need:
• one, two-way signal splitter
• two coaxial cables (75Ω)
• one cable for a video connection (standard
RCA connector)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed
for connection to 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.
1Connect a cable TV signal to a two-
way signal splitter.
2Connect one of the two-way signal
splitter outputs to the INPUT on the
cable box.
3Connect the other two-way signal
splitter output to the ANTENNA IN
75Ωon the rear of the TV.
4Connect from the cable box OUTPUT
jack to the ANT IN jack on the rear of
the VCR.
5Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on
the VCR to the INPUT-AV 1 VIDEO
jack on the rear of the TV.
6Connect the AUDIO OUT R(ight)
and L(eft) jacks on the VCR to
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear
of the TV.
NOTE: If the VCR is a nonstereo unit,
connect only the left audio cable,
which usually has a white connector.
7Press the AV button on the remote
control as many times as necessary
to select the AV1 source.
8Turn the VCR on and push PLAY to
view a videotape.

To simplify making connections, the connectors
on audio and video cables are often color
coded. The jacks on your TV are likewise color
coded to match the connectors.
The coding 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 (nonstereo),
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.
