Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV

CONNECTING A VCR AND CABLE BOX

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 (75)

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.

1 Connect a cable TV signal to a two- way signal splitter.

2 Connect one of the two-way signal splitter outputs to the INPUT on the cable box.

HELPFUL HINT

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-AV 2, or the side panel inputs [AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive sound from only one of the TV’s speakers. See page 38.
