S VIDEO jacks?

See page 7.

For best results, use this connection if:

❑Your cable company scrambles some channels, such as premium channels (which requires you to use a cable box), but does not scramble all channels.

With this connection you can:

❑Use the TV remote control to change channels coming through the cable box. (You must first program the remote control for your specific cable box; see “Programming the Remote Control” on page 24.)

❑Use the TV remote control to change channels coming directly into the TV’s VHF/UHF jack. (The TV’s tuner provides a better signal than the cable box.)

❑Record channels coming through the cable box and channels coming directly into the TV.

To connect a VCR and cable box, you need:

❑A splitter, which is a small, inexpensive device that you can purchase at your local electronics store.

❑Four coaxial cables.

❑Two A/V cables or two S VIDEO cable with audio cables.
