performance will be unacceptable.

is prohibited under the Copyright Laws of the United States
and other countries, and may subject you to civil and
criminal liability.
Note:
If you have a mono VCR, connect TV L/Mono Audio IN
to VCR Audio OUT using only one audio cable.
When you use a converter box with your TV, you
may not be able to use the remote control to program
certain features (for example, blocking channels).
For better quality, if your VCR has S-video, you can use an
S-video cable (plus the standard audio cables) instead of the
standard video cable. Do not connect a standard video cable
and an S-video cable to VIDEO-1 at the same time or the
picture performance will be unacceptable.
