not included with the TV.
1. Connect the incoming cable to IN on the RF splitter.
2. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter
to ANTENNA IN on the cable box back panel.
3. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the RF splitter
to ANT-1 MAIN on the TV back panel.
4. Connect one coaxial cable from OUT on the cable box
to ANTENNA IN on the VCR back panel.
5. Connect one coaxial cable from ANTENNA OUT on the
VCR back panel to ANT-2 AUX on the TV back panel.
6. To use the TV speakers with the VCR, connect a set of
audio cables from AUDIO OUT on the VCR back panel
to INPUT-1 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. If your VCR is mono (non-stereo),
connect only the white (left) cable.
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 VCR Video and Audio to a Cable Box

OUT on the VCR back panel to INPUT 1 VIDEO on the
TV back 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 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.

connections by connecting a Video cable from VIDEO

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.
