T
he TV’s audio/video (AV) input jacks provide
for direct picture and sound connections
between the TV and accessory devices such as
VCRs, DVD players, and others that have AV out-
put jacks.
This example, which uses the INPUT-AV 1 jacks,
shows you one way you can connect a VCR to
your TV.
Refer to the directions-for-use manual for your
VCR for further information on connections.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• one coaxial cable (75Ω)
• one cable for a video connection (standard
RCA connector)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed for
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
1
Connect a cable TV or antenna signal to
the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR.
2
Connect from the OUT jack on the rear
of the VCR to the ANTENNA IN 75Ω
jack on the rear of the TV.
3
Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the
rear of the VCR to the INPUT AV1
VIDEO jack on the rear of the TV.
4
Connect the audio output R(ight) and
L(eft) jacks on the rear of the VCR to the
INPUT-AV 1 AUDIO jacks on the rear of
the TV.
NOTE: If the VCR is a mono (nonstereo)
unit, connect only the left audio cable,
which usually has a white connector.
5
Press the AV button on the remote con-
trol as many times as necessary to select
the AV1 source.
6
Turn the VCR on and press PLAY to
view a videotape on the TV.
You can display the AV1, AV2, or AV3 signal
sources in the PIP window. See pages 6 and 7
in the Quick Use and Setup Guide for infor-
mation on using the Picture-in-Picture (PIP)
feature. The VCR connection option shown in
the Quick Use and Setup Guide will allow you
to use your VCR as a second, dedicated tuner
for viewing channels in the PIP window. Also
note that the PIP SWAP button allows you to
switch the main and PIP pictures.

CONNECTING A VCR
BEGIN
To simplify making connections, audio and
video cables often have color-code connec-
tors. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the connectors. 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 (non-
stereo), 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 1,
INPUT-AV2, or the side panel inputs
[AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive
sound from only one of the TV’s speak-
ers. See page 36.
