You will need:

•coaxial cables

•S-video cable

–Do not connect both types of video cable to VIDEO 1 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

•standard audio cables

–If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV to your VCR’s audio out terminal using the white audio cable only.

Note: When you use a Cable box, you may not be able to use the remote control to program or access certain features on the TV.

To view basic and premium Cable channels:

Turn OFF the VCR. Select the ANT video input source on the TV.* Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel the Cable box output is set to). Use the Cable box controls to change channels.

To view the VCR:

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

*To select the video input source, press INPUT on the remote control (- page 21). To program the TV remote control to operate other devices, see Chapter 3.
