You will need:

–Do not connect both types of video cable to 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 terminal using the white audio cable only.

To view the VCR:

Turn ON the VCR. Select the VIDEO 2 video input source on the TV.*
