Connections & Setup
Chapter 1 11
AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT Connect a VCR or DVD-recorder to record digital
and analog programs from the Cable or Antenna Input (excluding copy-
protected programs and component video formats) while the TV is turned on.
You must leave the TV on the same channel you are recording.
• R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.
• L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.
• V (Video) provides composite video connection and connector is usually
yellow.
Notes: When recording from this output, remember to tune to the
channel you want to record.
If an unusual pattern appears when you connect a VCR to these jacks,
playing a tape or switching to the VCR’s tuner removes the pattern.
AUDIO/VIDEO INPUTS
INPUT 1 COMPOSITE INPUT Connect an NTSC (analog) component. These
jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The
audio/video jacks are often color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio,
and white for left audio).
• R Audio provides right audio connection and connector is usually red.
• L Audio provides left audio connection and connector is usually white.
• V (Video) provides composite video connection and connector is usually
yellow.
• S-VIDEO lets you connect an S-Video cable for better picture quality to a
component with S-Video capability, such as a VCR or DVD player. When
using S-Video, make sure to connect the two audio cables as well as the
S-Video connector.
The S-Video jack provides better picture quality than the composite video
jacks because the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the
signal is separated from the black and white (luminance) part of the
picture.
INPUT 3 COMPOSITE INPUT Provides connection to a second NTSC (analog)
video component such as a VCR. The jacks are the same as described above for
INPUT 1.
