RF Coaxial cable
White
Audio video cables are usually
color-coded red, white, and yellow.
Red= right audio; White = left
audio; Yellow = video.
If your TV has an S-Video jack,
connect the S-Video cable
(supplied). S-Video provides better
video quality than composite
video (the yellow jack).
Connection: DVD/VCR + TV + Basic Cable Box
1. Connect the cable box signal.
Note: Before you connect the DVD/VCR, you'll need to disconnect some of the cables fi rst in order to reconnect them.
1b. Connect the RF Coaxial cable that is connected to the cable box's Output jack (sometimes labeled CABLE OUT) to the
CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack on the back of the DVD/VCR.
2. Connect the DVD/VCR to the TV
You need to connect cables from the DVD/VCR's OUTPUT jacks to the TV's INPUT jacks in order to see the content from the
DVD/VCR (whether it's a TV program or a disc you're playing).
2a. Use the RF Coaxial cable that was packed with your DVD/VCR, and connect one end to the CABLE/ANTENNA OUTPUT jack
on the DVD/VCR. Connect the other end to the Cable/Antenna Input jack on the back of your TV (sometimes labeled CABLE/
ANTENNA).
If you want to be able to record one TV program while you watch a different program, you need to connect the audio/video cables
(provided) in addition to connecting the RF Coaxial cable described in Step 2a.
2b. Connect the audio cables.
A set of audio/video cables was packed with your DVD/VCR. Connect the audio cables to the OUTPUT AUDIO L (left – white)
and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD/VCR, 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 4.
Connect the video cable (yellow) to the OUTPUT VIDEO jack on the back of your DVD/VCR, and to the Video Input jack on
your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).
2d. S-VIDEO If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect one end of the S-Video cable (supplied) 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/VCR.
COMPONENT OUT 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/VCR to the TV using these jacks (COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT,
Y, Pb, Pr on the DVD/VCR). For more explanation, go to page 4. Component Video cables not supplied with the DVD/VCR.
Notes:
If your TV is capable of progressive scan, connect the DVD/VCR to the TV using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, and slide the
PROG SCAN switch to the ON position to see DVD titles (movies) in progressive scan format. If you need more explanation, go to
page 6.
If you use the COMPONENT VIDEO connection (Y, Pb, Pr), you must connect another video cable (yellow or S-Video) for VCR
playback. The Component Out jacks are only for DVD playback.
3. Attach the AC power cord to the unit.
4. Insert the other end of the AC power cord into an AC outlet (or power strip).
