If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video cable (in the S-video jacks) instead of a standard video cable. Do not connect a standard video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

When you use a converter box with your TV, the remote control will not operate some features, such as programming your favorite channels, labeling channels, and locking channels.
