Connecting your TV

Connecting a DVD player or satellite receiver and a VCR

This connection allows you to watch DVD/satellite, VCR, or TV programs. You can record from the DVD player/satellite receiver and TV, as well as record one TV channel while watching another channel.

Note: If your DVD player has component video connections, follow the connection instructions under “Connecting a DVD player with ColorStream™ (component video) and a VCR” on page 11.

You will need:

•one coaxial cable

•three pairs of audio cables (one pair and two single audio cables for a mono VCR)

•two regular video cables

•one S-video cable

You can use a regular video cable instead of an S-video cable between the TV and DVD player/satellite receiver, but the picture quality will decrease.

The illustration at left shows one S-video cable and one pair of audio cables connected to Video-1 on the TV. Make sure you do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time. Doing so will distort the picture.
