Introduction

Appendix

Note:

To prevent equipment damage,
do not plug in any power cords
until you have finished
connecting all 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
VIDEO-1 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.

Selecting a location for the TV/DVD

Place the TV/DVD on the floor or on a sturdy platform in a location

where light does not directly hit the screen.

Place the TV/DVD far enough from the walls to allow proper

ventilation. Inadequate ventilation may cause overheating, which
may damage the TV/DVD.

Connecting your TV/DVD

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 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/DVD, 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 17).
