Cable Box to VCR
Figure 9
A two-way RF splitter, 4 coaxial cables, right and left audio cables and an S-Video or Video cable are required. These are not
included with the media center.
1. Connect the incoming cable to IN on the RF splitter.
2. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter to IN on the cable box rear panel.
3. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter to ANT-1 MAIN on the media center rear panel.
4. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the cable box to ANTENNA IN on the VCR rear panel.
5. Connect one coaxial cable from ANTENNA OUT on the VCR rear panel to ANT-2 AUX on the media center rear
panel (optional).
6. To use the display’s internal speakers with the VCR, connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO OUT on the VCR rear
panel to INPUT-1 AUDIO-LEFT (MONO) and AUDIO-RIGHT on the media center rear panel. The red cable connects
to the R (right) channel and the white cable 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 Video cable from VIDEO OUT on the VCR rear panel to INPUT 1 VIDEO on the media
center rear panel. Only one type of video cable should be connected. S-Video is recommended, if available.
8. For NetCommand® controlled recordings, connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO IN on the VCR rear panel
to MONITOR OUTPUT AUDIO-LEFT (MONO) and AUDIO-RIGHT on the media center rear panel. The red cable
connects to the R (right) channel and the white cable connects to the L (left) channel.
9. Complete the NetCommand controlled recordings connections by connecting a Video cable from VIDEO IN on the
VCR rear panel to MONITOR OUTPUT VIDEO on the media center rear panel.
Figure 9. 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.
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 (connected to ANT-1) instead
of the VCR.
