AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Connect a VCR or DVD-recorder to record digital and analog programs from the Cable or Antenna Input (excluding copy- protected programs and component video formats) while the TV is turned on. You must leave the TV on the same channel you are recording.

•R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

•L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

•V (Video) provides composite video connection and connector is usually yellow.

Notes: When recording from this output, remember to tune to the channel you want to record.

If an unusual pattern appears when you connect a VCR to these jacks, playing a tape or switching to the VCR’s tuner removes the pattern.

VIDEO/AUDIO INPUTS

INPUT 1 COMPOSITE INPUT Connect an NTSC (analog) component. These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio).

•R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.

•L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.

•V (Video) provides composite video connection and connector is usually yellow.

•S-VIDEOlets you connect an S-Video cable for better picture quality to a component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player. When using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as the S-Video connector.

The S-Video jack provides better picture quality than the composite video jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture.

INPUT 3 COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog) video component such as a VCR. The jacks are the same as described above for INPUT 1.
