Safeguards
Caution:
Do not plug the TV in until you have finished
connecting all of your equipment.
You will need:
•
two coaxial cables
•
one set of standard A/V cables
Note:
If using a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
For better picture quality, if your VCR has S-
video, you can use an S-video cable instead
of the standard video cable. Do not connect a
standard video cable and an S-video cable to
VIDEO1 simultaneously.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video programs,
play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record from one
channel while watching another channel.

If you haven’t connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section. (Cables
are not supplied.)
•
A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
•
Standard A/V (audio/video) cables are usually color coded
according to use: yellow for video and red and white for audio. The
red audio cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio
cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. If you look at the rear
panel of the TV, you will see that the terminals are color coded in
the same manner as the cables.
•
S-video cables provide better picture performance. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.
•
Component video cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. Component video cables can only be used
with component video compatible components.
