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.
• If you’ve already set up auto tuning, press
the VCR1 button on your remote control.
• 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.

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.
