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 a 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.
