Connecting your TV

If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables are not supplied.)

A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from an antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.

Audio and video cables are usually color-coded according to use: yellow for video, and red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio cable is for the stereo (or mono) left channel. On the rear panel of the TV, the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the cables.

S-video cables provide better picture performance than regular video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video compatible components.

ColorStream® (component video) cables come in sets of three, and can only be used with component video–compatible components. A component video connection provides the best picture performance.

Caution:

Do not plug in the TV until you have finished connecting all equipment.

Caution:

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 the S-video connections and remove the video cable.

Do not connect a regular video cable and an S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the same time, or the picture will be distorted.
