How to Connect: TV + VCR + DVD Player
1. Connect your cable and/or off-air antenna.
If you have cable and an off-air antenna, connect the cable signal to CABLE INPUT. Connect the off-air antenna to
ANTENNA INPUT.
2. Connect your DVD Player to your TV.
A. Connect the audio (white and red) cables to the INPUT 4 R and L Audio jacks on the back of the TV and to the
Audio Output jacks on the DVD player.
B. Connect three video grade cables to the INPUT 4 Y/VIDEO P

jacks on the back of the TV and to the Y P

outputs on the DVD player. If your DVD player doesn’t have Y P
B
P
R,
but has composite video and an S-Video output,
use the INPUT 3 S-VIDEO jack instead of the V (Video) jack for better picture quality.
Notes: If you are using an S-Video cable or component video cables, you must also connect audio cables. The S-Video
cable and component video cables only transfer video information.
If your DVD player has a component video output, we recommend you use the component video input on the TV
instead of the composite video or S-Video connection.
3. Connect your VCR to your TV.
A. Connect the VCR’s audio/video outputs to INPUT 1 (R and L-Audio, and V-Video) on the TV using composite audio/
video cables.
B. Connect the VCR’s audio/video inputs to the AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on the TV. This enables recording of
digital and analog programs (except copy protected or component video formats).
Viewing the Components
1. Turn on the TV and the component(s) you want to view.
2. Press the TV button on the remote control.
3. Press the INPUT button on the remote control to scroll through the Video Input Channels.
• View the VCR on the INPUT 1 channel.
• View the DVD player on the INPUT 4 channel.
Note: You can set up the TV to automatically tune to the correct Video Input Channel. This is called Auto Tuning.
