Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV CONNECTING A VCR AND CABLE BOX Presented here is a connection example involving a VCR and cable box. Refer to the VCR's directions-for-use manual for further information on connections. To make the connections in this example, you will need: • one, two-way signal splitter • two coaxial cables (75Ω) • one cable for a video connection (standard RCA connector) • two cables for audio connections (standard RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed for connection to a nonstereo VCR). NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV. You should be able to buy them at most stores that sell electronics. Or you can call our Customer Care Center at 1-800-531-0039. 3 Rear of VCR* * (Example: Philips VCR model VR674CAT) 5 ANTENNA IN 75Ω INPUT-AV 1 VIDEO L AUDIO R Rear of TV 6OUTPUT INPUT-AV 2 Y VIDEO S-VIDEO Pb L L Pr AUDIO R HD INPUT-AV 4 G/Y R/Pr B/Pb V L SYNC AUDIO H R 4 AUDIO L OUT IN R VIDEO ANT IN OUT OUT IN CH3 CH4 Rear of Cable Box 1 Connect a cable TV signal to a twoway signal splitter. 2 Connect one of the two-way signal splitter outputs to the INPUT on the AV1 cable box. 3 Connect the other two-way signal splitter output to the ANTENNA IN 75Ω on the rear of the TV. 4 Connect from the cable box OUTPUT jack to the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR. 5 Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the VCR to the INPUT-AV 1 VIDEO jack on the rear of the TV. 6 Connect the AUDIO OUT R(ight) and L(eft) jacks on the VCR to INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of the TV.

However, if your cable box has A/V outputs, those might be able to supply video and stereo audio to A/V jacks on either the VCR or the TV. Check with your cable company. • To simplify making connections, the plugs on audio and video cables are often color coded. The jacks on your TV are likewise color coded to match the plugs. The coding is as follows: -Yellow for video (composite) -Red for the right audio channel -White for the left audio channel NOTE: If your VCR is mono (nonstereo), you will connect only one audio cable. You must ensure that the TV is set to MONO for the signal source to which you've connected the VCR (INPUT-AV 2, INPUT-AV 1, or the side panel inputs [AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive sound from only one of the TV's speakers. See page 27. 10
