resented here is a connection example
involving a VCR and cable box.
Refer to the VCR’s directions-for-use manual
for further information on connections.
To make the connections in this example, you
will need:
• one, two-way signal splitter
• two coaxial cables (75Ω)
• one cable for a video connection (standard
RCA connector)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed
for connection to a nonstereo VCR).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your
TV. You should be able to buy them at most
stores that sell electronics. Or you can call
our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039.

To simplify making connections, the con-
nectors on audio and video cables are often
color coded. The jacks on your TV are like-
wise color coded to match the connectors.
The coding is as follows:
• Yellow for video (composite)
• Red for the right audio channel
• White for the left audio channel
NOTE: If your VCR is mono (non-
stereo), you will connect only one audio
cable. You must ensure that the TV is set
to MONO for the signal source to which
you’ve connected the VCR (
INPUT-AV
1,
INPUT-AV2, or the side panel inputs
[AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive
sound from only one of the TV’s speak-
ers. See page 34.
