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 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 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. 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. S-video cables
can only be used with S-video compatible components.
• ColorStream™ cables come in sets of three and provide the best
picture performance. ColorStream cables can only be used with
ColorStream compatible components.
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 pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR)
• one video cable (one S-video cable for an S-VHS VCR)

Caution:
Do not plug the TV in 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 (in the S-video jacks) instead of the
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.
