type audio cable. Connect the cable from the VCR's AUDIO OUT
terminal to the left (L) AUDIO INPUT on the back of the TV.
⁄Important: If your VCR has a video channel switch with an “OFF” position, set
it to “OFF”. See your VCR owner’s guide for details.

Infrared receivers are usually located on the front face of the
VCR or cable box. Consult the owner manual(s) of your equip-
ment to ensure accurate positioning of the Mitsubishi IR
transmitter lenses.
⁄Important: When you have both a cable box and a VCR, place one IR transmit-
ter in front of each component. When you have only a cable box or
a VCR, but not both, place one IR transmitter in front of that
component and place the other IR transmitter in another, out-of-
the-way location.
⁄Important: TV GUIDE Plus+can control only those types of cable boxes and
VCRs that can select channels by using the number keypad on
their remote controls.
Use this hook-up to:
•use TV GUIDE Plus+with a cable box and/or VCR. There are
two separate IR emitters connected to the end of the plug. Each
IR emitter is used to send control signals from your TV to your
cable box, and/or your VCR.
