Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting two VCRs

You will need:

￿two coaxial cables

￿two sets of standard A/V cables

For better picture performance, if VCR 1 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 cable to VIDEO 1 (or VIDEO 2) at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

If VCR 1 has mono audio, connect L/MONO on the TV (VIDEO 1) to the audio out jack on VCR 1 using the white audio cable only.

Do not connect the same VCR to the output and input jacks on the TV at the same time.

￿ 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 (ANT-1 and

VIDEO 1 are the only sources for the TV Guide On Screen

program guide).
