Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
P
resented here is a connection example
involving a VCR and cable box.
Refer to the VCR's directions-for-use manual
for further information on connections.
To make the connections in this example, you
will need:
• one, two-way signal splitter
• two coaxial cables (75 )
• one cable for a video connection (standard
RCA-type phono plug)
• two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA-type phono plugs) (only one cable is
needed for connection to 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.

splitter output to the ANTENNA IN
75 jack on the back of the TV.

control as many times as necessary to
