(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 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.
