Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV

CONNECTING A VCR

The TV’s audio/video (AV) input jacks provide for direct picture and sound connections

between the TV and accessory devices such as VCRs, DVD players, and others that have AV out- put jacks.

This example, which uses the INPUT-AV 1 jacks, shows you one way you can connect a VCR to your TV.

Coaxial Cable Lead-in from Cable TV Company or VHF/UHF Antenna

Refer to the directions-for-use manual for your VCR for further information on connections.

To make the connections shown in this example, you will need:

•one coaxial cable (75Ω)

•one cable for a video connection (standard RCA connector)

•two cables for audio connections (standard RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed for 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 or antenna signal to the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR.

2 Connect from the OUT jack on the rear of the VCR to the ANTENNA IN 75Ω jack on the rear of the TV.

3 Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the rear of the VCR to the INPUT AV1 VIDEO jack on the rear of the TV.

4 Connect the audio output R(ight) and L(eft) jacks on the rear of the VCR to the INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of the TV.

NOTE: If the VCR is a mono (nonstereo) unit, connect only the left audio cable, which usually has a white connector.

5 Press the AV button on the remote con- trol as many times as necessary to select the AV1 source.

6 Turn the VCR on and press PLAY to view a videotape on the TV.

AV1	HELPFUL HINT
	To simplify making connections, audio and
	video cables often have color-code connec-
	tors. 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
5	• White for the left audio channel
	NOTE: If your VCR is mono (non-
	stereo), 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 speak-
