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. (Cables
are not supplied.)
• A coaxial cable is the standard cable that comes in from an
antenna or cable converter box. Coaxial cables use “F”
connectors.
• Audio and video cables are usually color-coded according to use:
yellow for video, and red and white for audio. The red audio
cable is for the stereo right channel, and the white audio cable is
for the stereo (or mono) left channel. On the rear panel of the
TV, the terminals are color-coded in the same manner as the
cables.
• S-video cables provide better picture performance than regular
video cables. S-video cables can only be used with S-video
compatible components.
• ColorStream
®
(component video) cables come in sets of three,
and can only be used with component video–compatible
components. A component video connection provides the best
picture performance.
Connecting a VCR
This connection allows you to watch local channels and video
programs, 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 video cable

Caution:
Do not plug in the TV until you have finished
connecting all equipment.
Caution:
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 the S-video
connections and remove the video cable.
Do not connect a regular video cable and an
S-video cable to Video-1 (or Video-2) at the
same time, or the picture will be distorted.
