Accessory Information

Antenna (or cable-TV) connections are made with either coaxial antenna cable or twin-lead cable. Coaxial cables are shielded so they are less susceptible to hum or interference from adjacent cables.

The following accessories are available from most dealers and

electronics supply stores in case you want to position your

components farther apart or need additional cables.

Most audio/video connections between components can be made with shielded audio and video cables that have

RCA-type phono connectors.

Color-Coded Jacks

The jacks on the TV'smonitor panel are color-coded for ease of use. The video jacks are yellow, the right audio jacks are red, and the left audio jacks are white. When connecting components to each other, be sure that you always connect left outputs to left inputs and right outputs to right inputs. If a component has only one output (mono), connect it to the rlmono input jack.

To connect S-VHS (Super-VHS) components, an S-VHS video cable is required.
