Connecting a VCR
Note: If the VCR has an HDMI jack (best), component jacks (better), an
S-Video jack (good) connect the VCR using the best available
connection.
To connect a VCR:
1 Make sure that your TV’s power cord is unplugged and the VCR is
turned off.
2 Connect one end of a standard AV cable (not included) into the
AV IN 1 VIDEO jack on the back of the TV, then connect the other
end of the cable to the AV OUT VIDEO jack on the VCR.
-OR-
For a better picture, you can connect an S-Video cable to the
S-VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR and the S-VIDEO jack on your TV.
Note: Cable connectors and jacks are often color-coded. Match the colors
when you connect the AV cable.
3 Connect the audio connectors of the AV cable (the red and white
connectors) to the AV OUT AUDIO jacks of the VCR, then connect
them to the AV IN AUDIO-L and AUDIO-R jacks on the back of
your TV.
To play the VCR:
1 Turn on the TV, then press INPUT. The INPUT SOURCE menu
opens.
2 Press or to select AV1, AV2, or S-Video, then press ENTER.
Note:
• You can also press VIDEO once to select AV1 or twice to select AV2.
• If a device is connected to the S-VIDEO jack, the S-VIDEO jack controls
the AV IN 1/2 Audio L and R jacks. To assign the audio jacks to the
AV IN 1/2 VIDEO jack, unplug the S-Video device.
3 Turn on the VCR, insert a videotape, then press PLAY on the VCR.
