Introduction Connecting your TV Using the Remote Control 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. A ColorStream connection will provide 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 pair of audio cables (one single audio cable for a mono VCR) • one video cable (one S-video cable for an S-VHS VCR) Cable lead-in from Cable or Antenna Stereo VCR IN from ANT OUT to TV CH 3 CH 4 VIDEO AUDIO LR IN OUT TV ANT( 75 ) ANT-1 OUT ANT- 2 AUDIO CENTER CHANNEL IN ON S-VIDEO OUT R L VAR AUDIO OFF VIDEO L/ MONO Y CB L VIDEO L/ MONO AUDIO CR AUDIO R R COLOR VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 STREAM IN DVD IN AUDIO R OUT ANTENNA Coaxial Cable AUDIO Cables VIDEO Cable S-VIDEO Cable Color Stream Cable Caution: Do not plug the TV in until you have finished connecting all of your 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 an S-video cable (in the S-Video inputs) instead of a 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. Doing so will distort the picture.
