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.
• NOTE: Viewing a VCR in
AIR mode may result in
poor picture performance.

company’s box tuning instructions for details.
