Basic TV to VCR Connection
Helpful Hints
Audio and video cables are not supplied
with the TV. Audio cables are usually red
and white. Video cables are usually yellow.
Your VCR may not have Audio and Video
Out jacks, but only an RF or ANTENNA
OUT jack.
Use a coaxial cable to connect the VCR’s
ANTENNA OUT jack to the TV’s 75 OHM
ANTENNA INPUT jack.
The basic component (VCR, DVD player etc.) to TV connection is described below. For other hookups, refer to your
component’s instruction manual.
Connect a yellow video cable to the VIDEO jack on the front of the TV and to the VIDEO OUT jack on your VCR (or
other component).
Connect an audio cable to the AUDIO jack on the front of the TV and to the AUDIO OUT of the VCR (or other device).
Match the cable color to the jack color.
Turn on the TV and the VCR (or other component).
Press the INPUT button on the remote control until the correct video input channel appears in the upper right corner of
the TV screen. When you play material on the VCR, DVD player, etc. that is connected to the AUDIO and VIDEO jacks
it will appear on the TV on the video input channel. (The bottom of page 4 has a complete list.)
S-Video provides a clearer picture than
the standard video (the yellow jack).
Choose the
S-VIDEO channel to view
material playing on equipment connected
to the S-VIDEO jack.
Use either S-VIDEO jack or VIDEO INPUT
jacks. Do not use both at the same time
for the same piece of equipment. This
would interfere with the picture display. If
both are used, S-VIDEO has priority over
the yellow VIDEO INPUT jack.
