Connecting your TV
Note:

To prevent equipment damage,

do not plug in any power cords

until you have finished

connecting all equipment.

You will need:
two coaxial cables
one set of standard A/V cables
Note:

If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to VCR

Audio OUT using only one audio cable. For

better picture quality, if your VCR has S-video,

you can use an S-video cable instead of the

standard video cable. Do not connect a

standard video cable and an S-video cable to

VIDEO-1 simultaneously.

Connecting a VCR

This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs,
play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one
channel while watching another channel.

Selecting a location for the TV

Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location where
light does not directly hit the screen.
Place the TV far enough from the walls to allow proper ventilation.
Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which may damage
the TV.
Connecting your TV
If you havent 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 your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use F connectors.
Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded accord-
ing 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 left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear
panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.
S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
Component video cables provide better picture performance than
S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with
component video compatible components.
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with
video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 15).
