RF Coaxial cable Red Yellow White Audio video cables are usually color-coded red, white, and yellow. Chapter 1: Connections and Setup Connection: DVD/VCR + TV 1. Connect the signal (cable or antenna): Note: Depending upon how you currently have your TV connected, you'll have to disconnect the cable from your TV's Antenna Input jack (sometimes labeled CABLE/ ANTENNA) or your VCR's Input jack before you connect the cable as explained below. Cable service: If you have cable service via a cable that comes out of the wall, connect the end of that cable to the ANTENNA/CABLE INPUT jack on the DVD recorder. Note: If you have a cable box, go to page 12 for connection instructions. Off-air antenna: If you use an off-air antenna to get TV programming, connect the antenna's RF coaxial cable to the RF IN jack on the DVD recorder. 2. Connect the DVD recorder to the TV You need to connect cables from the DVD recorder's OUTPUT jacks to the TV's INPUT jacks in order to see the content from the DVD recorder. 2a. Use the RF Coaxial cable that was packed with your DVD recorder, and connect one end to the RF OUT jack on the DVD recorder. Connect the other end to the Cable/Antenna Input jack on the back of your TV (sometimes labeled CABLE/ANTENNA). It is important to make this connection so you can watch cable or antenna programs when the DVD recorder is off. 2b. Connect the audio cables. A set of audio/video cables was packed with your DVD recorder. Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO OUTPUT L (left - white) and R (right - red) jacks on the back of your DVD recorder, and to the corresponding Audio Input jacks on your TV (sometimes labeled AUDIO IN L and R). 2c. Connect the video cable. The cables you use for the video determine the quality of the picture you'll see on your TV when you're playing DVDs. For more information about cables and signal quality, go to page 5. Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUTPUT jack on the back of your DVD recorder, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN). S-VIDEO (not shown) If your TV has an S-Video jack, use an optional S-Video cable. Connect one end of the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO IN jack on the back of the TV and the other end to the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of the DVD recorder. COMPONENT VIDEO Y, Pb, Pr (not shown) If your TV has Component Input Jacks (Y, Pb, Pr), you can achieve even greater picture quality (DVD playback only) by connecting the DVD recorder to the TV using these jacks (COMPONENT VIDEO OUT, Y, Pb, Pr on the DVD recorder). For more explanation, go to page 5. Component Video cables not supplied with the DVD recorder. Notes: If your TV is capable of progressive scan, connect the DVD recorder to the TV using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and press the PSCAN button on the remote to toggle between progressive scan and interlace. 3.
