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 the audio cables (white and red) to the AUDIO INPUT jacks on the TV and to the AUDIO OUT jacks on the
VCR (or other component). Match the cable color to the jack color.
If your component has an S-Video jack, connect an S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO jack on the back of the TV to the
S-Video jack on the component. If your component doesn’t have an S-Video jack go to item 3.
Connect a video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV and to the VIDEO OUT jack on your VCR (or other
component).
Turn on the TV and the 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.
Please note that models 27V512T and
27V513T have only AV inputs.
