Connecting a VCR with S-video and a cable box

An S-video connection will provide better picture performance than a standard (composite) video cable. If your VCR does not have S-video, refer to the connection on page 10.

You will need:

signal splitter

coaxial cables

standard A/V cables

S-video cable

standard audio cables

Note:

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

See page 10 for details on the VCR and Cable box connection.
