Figure 6. Connecting a VCR to a Cable Box
Note: NetCommand®
will assume your
VCR is connected
to inputs as shown
on this page. If you
use any other inputs
for your VCR or add
a second VCR, this
change must match
in the NetCommand
system. See Edit
NetCommand... in
Chapter 3 for more
information.
Connecting a VCR to a Cable Box (Audio & Video)
connects to the L (left) channel. If your VCR is mono
(non-stereo), connect only the white (left) cable.
7. Connect either an S-Video or composite video cable
from VIDEO OUT on the VCR back panel to INPUT 1
VIDEO on the TV back panel. Connect only one type
of video cable. S-Video is recommended, if available.
8. For NetCommand®-controlled recordings (including
TV Guide On Screen)
a. Connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO IN on
the VCR back panel to RECORD OUTPUT/AUDIO-
LEFT (MONO) and AUDIO-RIGHT on the TV back
panel. The red cable connects to the R (right)
channel and the white cable connects to the L
(left) channel.
b. Connect a video cable from VIDEO IN on the VCR
back panel to RECORD OUTPUT/VIDEO on the
TV back panel.
Note: With this connection configuration, it is
possible to view live cable programs through the VCR.
For best picture quality, however, always view live
cable programs directly from the cable box instead of
the VCR.
