Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

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

You will need:

￿one coaxial cable

￿one set of standard A/V cables

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.
