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
VIDEO-1 (or VIDEO-2) 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.

Connecting your TV
• 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 accord-
ing 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 than standard
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• Component video cables provide better picture performance than
S-video cables. Component video cables can only be used with
component video compatible components.
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is for use with
video equipment that has HDMI output (see page 14).
