Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to your TV in several different configurations. The suggested connection illustrations in this manual are representative of typical device connections only. The input/output jacks on your devices may differ from those illustrated herein. For details about connecting and using your specific devices, refer to each device’s owner’s manual.

Connecting a VCR and antenna or Cable TV (no Cable box)

You will need:
￿ two coaxial cables

￿ one set of standard A/V cables

From Cable TV or antenna

Stereo VCR

• For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video, use an

S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video

cable. However, do not connect both types of video cables to

VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time or the picture

performance will be unacceptable.

• If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV to your

VCR’s audio out jack using the white audio cable only.

￿To view the antenna or Cable signal: Turn off the VCR.Select the ANT 1 video input source.*

If you have both an off-air antenna and Cable TV, connect the antenna to ANT-2 and the Cable TV to ANT-1 (because ANT-1 is the only source for the TV Guide On Screen program guide).

￿To view the VCR:Turn ON the VCR. Select the VIDEO 1 video input source on the TV.*

or…Turn ON the VCR. Select the ANT 1 video input source.* Tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is vacant in your area).

*To select the video input source, press INPUT on the remote control (see page 61). To program the TV remote control to operate other devices, see pages 30–33.
