Connecting A Vcr - Philips 55PW938399 Directions For Use Manual

Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
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 to 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.

Connect a cable TV or antenna signal to
the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR.

VIDEO jack on the rear of the TV.
4

L(eft) jacks on the rear of the VCR to the

the TV.
NOTE: If the VCR is a mono (nonstereo)
unit, connect only the left audio cable,
which usually has a white connector.

trol as many times as necessary to select

• Stereo sound will pass from the ANT
OUT jack on the VCR to the ANTENNA
IN 75Ω jack on the TV only when the
VCR is in TV mode. This is the mode
that allows the TV to use its channel
selector.
• To simplify making connections, audio
and video cables often have color-coded
plugs. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the plugs. The cod-
ing 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 speakers.
