1) Refer to the connection instructions in the user’s

guide for each component you plan to connect.

They will provide more detailed information about
their products, and they will tell you what plugs and
cables are required. 

2) Most A/V input jacks and plugs are color coded:

• Yellow plugs are Video connections

• Red plugs are for Right Audio connections

• White plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connections

3) Perform one hookup at a time.

If you have many accessories to connect, make sure
each connection is correct by checking to see that it
works properly before attempting the next connection.
(For example, always start with the RF or Cable
connections, make sure it works, then move on to
video or VCR connections.) 

4) Unplug the power cord between each connection.

5) Each jack on the back of the TV is labeled.

If you

read these instructions and still do not fully under-
stand the connections process, seek assistance.

6) The IR Mouse lets TV Guide Plus+ control your

cable box and/or your VCR.

You must place the

transmitter of the IR Mouse in front of the correspond-
ing window on the cable box or VCR.

7) The AV Compu Link Cable is supplied with the

JVC device which you want to connect.

If you do

not have one, but you do have a JVC Compu Link
capable VCR or HiFi, contact your local JVC dealer.

advanced individuals. If you read this section, and can’t identify the plugs, connectors, and
components you have, do not be afraid to seek help.
