The Basic Connection
TV and VCR
How to view
programming:
•
To watch cable TV or off-air
TV programs from an
antenna in this connection,
press ANTENNA on the
remote control until
ANTENNA A is displayed in
the channel banner.
•
To watch cable or any other
alternate RF signal, such as
digital or analog terrestrial,
press ANTENNA on the
remote control until
ANTENNA B is displayed in
the channel banner.
•
To watch satellite
programming, press
DIRECTV on the remote
control and channel up or
down to the desired
program.
How to view your VCR:
•
Press INPUT on the remote
control and select the video
input (in this example, VID1)
in the channel banner.
Because the digital decoder
is in the TV, not the VCR,
digital channels cannot be
recorded. If an off-air
antenna is used, the VCR
output should be viewed
using one of the video
inputs.
•
NOTE: Viewing a VCR while
in AIR mode may result in
poor picture performance.
Instead, select System
Options from the main
menu, then select Signal
Type and select Cable.

A DIGITAL OR ANALOG
TERRESTRIAL ANTENNA
The ANT B and ANT A jacks can
receive digital or analog RF
signals. The illustrations here
are recommended connections
in a cable environment.
Some cable systems may require a “conversion box.” If so, consult your cable
company’s box tuning instructions for details.
