Connecting your TV
Connecting a VCR and Cable box
You will need:
• signal splitter

– For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,
connect an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead
of the standard video cable. Do not connect both types of
video cable to
VIDEO 1
at the same time or the picture
performance will be unacceptable.

L/MONO
on the TV to
your VCR’s audio out terminal using the white audio cable
only.
