14 Plasma TV

Installation

- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and TV
- Use the ISM Method (on the Option menu) feature to avoid having a fixed image remain on the screen for a long period of time.

If the 4:3 picture format is used; the fixed images on the sides of the screen may remain visible on the screen.

Connection Option 1

Set VCR output switch to channel 3 or 4 and

then tune the TV to the same channel number.

Connection Option 2

1. Connect the audio and video cables from the

VCR's output jacks to the TV input jacks, as
shown in the figure. 

When connecting the TV to VCR, match the
jack colors (Video = yellow, Audio Left = white,
and Audio Right = red).
If you connect an S-VIDEO output from VCR to
the S-VIDEO input, the picture quality is
improved; compared to connecting a regular
VCR to the Video input.

2. Insert a video tape into the VCR and press

PLAY on the VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner’s
manual.) 

3. Select the input source with using the

TV/VIDEO

button on the remote control. Note

that this TV finds the connected input sources
automatically for Video, Front Video and
Component 1-2. It is presumed that RGB and
HDMI/DVI sources are connected.

Do not connect to both Video and
S-Video at the same time.
