Connecting your TV

Note: Cables are not supplied with your TV.

•Coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your antenna, cable TV company, or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

•Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color-coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio. On the back of the TV, the jacks are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

•S-video cables provide better picture performance than a standard video cable. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible equipment.

•Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best picture performance. Component video cables can only be used with component video compatible equipment.

Caution:

Do not plug in any power cords until you have finished connecting all of your equipment.

Note:

If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.

If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video cable instead of the regular video cable.

Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time. Doing so wil cause unacceptable picture performance.
