Connecting your TV
If you have not connected electronic equipment before, or you have
been frustrated in the past, you may wish to read this section.
Note: Cables are not supplied.
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from your
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F” connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color coded according to use:
yellow for video; red and white for audio. The red audio cable is for
the stereo right channel; the white audio cable is for the stereo (or
mono) left channel. If you look at the rear panel of the TV, you will
see that the terminals are color coded in the same manner as the
cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard
video cables. S-video cables can be used only with S-video compat-
ible components.
• ColorStream
TM
(component video) cables come in sets of three.
A ColorStream (component video) connection will provide the best
picture performance.
Caution:
Do not plug in any power cords until you have
finished connecting all of your equipment.
Note:
If you have a mono VCR, connect L/Mono to
VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
If you have an S-VHS VCR, use an S-video
cable instead of a regular video cable.
Do not connect a regular video cable and an
S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the
same time. Doing so will distort the picture.
NOTE REGARDING
PICTURE QUALITY
When connecting video equipment,
such as a VCR or DVD player:
• For GOOD picture quality: Use
regular video cables.
• For BETTER picture quality: If your
equipment has S-video connections,
use S-video cables instead of regular
video cables.
• For BEST picture quality: If your
equipment has ColorStream
(component video) connections,
use component video cables
instead of regular or S-video cables.
Component video cables come in
sets of three.
Note: Do not connect a regular video
cable and an S-Video cable to VIDEO-1
(or VIDEO-2) at the same time. Doing
so will distort the picture.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video pro-
grams, play or record on the VCR while watching TV, and record
from one channel while watching another channel.
You will need:
• one coaxial cable
• one pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable
