Connecting a VCR and Cable box

You will need:
• signal splitter
• coaxial cables
• standard A/V cables
– For better picture performance, if your VCR has S-video,
connect an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead
of the standard video cable. Do not connect both types of
video cable to VIDEO 1 at the same time or the picture
performance will be unacceptable.
– If you have a mono VCR, connect L/MONO on the TV to
your VCR's audio out terminal using the white audio cable
only.
– When you use a Cable box, you may not be able to use
the remote control to program or access certain features
on the TV.
Note: The VIDEO/AUDIO OUT terminals output signals from
the ANT 1, ANT 2, VIDEO 1, and VIDEO 2 terminals when the
appropriate input mode is selected.*
