Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting a VCR and antenna or Cable TV (no Cable box)

You will need:

￿one signal splitter

￿three coaxial cables

￿two sets of standard A/V cables

¥For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video, use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cable. However, do not connect both types of video cables to VIDEO 1 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

¥If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1) to your VCRÕs audio out terminal using the white audio cable only.

￿To view the antenna or Cable signal:

Select the ANT 1 video input source on the TV.*

￿To view the VCR:

Turn ON the VCR. Select the VIDEO 1 video input source on the TV.*

￿To use the TV Guide On Screen¨ recording features:

1.Connect the G-LINK®cable according to the instructions on page 21.

2.Make sure the VCR is connected to the A/V OUT terminals on the TV (see illustration).

3.Set the VCR to the appropriate line input (refer to your VCR owner’s manual for details), and then turn OFF the VCR.

4.See Chapter 5 for details on setting up the TV Guide On Screen® system.
