antenna /cable connection is shown below. For more deta iled connections, such as ones where a
cable box is required, see pa ges 11 to 13 .
You may also wish to connect a VC R at this point. Abasic VC R connection is shown below. For
detailed instructions on connecting other components or a home theater system, see pages 14 to 16.
Note: A V CR is not required to operate your television.
1) C onnect the yellow video cable out from the VC R ’s Video O utput, in to the TV’s Video Input
jack, OR connect a n S-V ideo cable from the V C R ’s S -Video O utput, to the TV ’s S-V ide o Input.
2) C onnect the white audio cable out from the VC R ’s Left Audio O utput, in to the TV ’s Left Audio
Input jack.
