We recommend that you
tune in the video signal to
programme number “0.”
For details see “Preset
channels manually” on
page 9.
If the picture or the
sound is distorted
Move the VCR away from
the TV.
S/video Input
(Y/C input)
Video signals may be
separated into Y
(luminance or brightness)
and C (chrominance)
signals.
Separating the Y and C
signals prevents them
from interfering with one
another, and therefore
improves picture quality
(especially luminance).
This TV is equipped with
3 S Video input jacks
through which these
separated signals can be
input directly.
When connecting a
monaural VCR
Connect only the white
jack to both the TV
and VCR.
Note on playing video
games:
Games that involve
shooting at the screen
with an electronic gun or
similar device cannot be
played with this TV.
Connecting Optional Equipment
You can connect optional audio-video equipment to this TV such as a
VCR, video disc player, and stereo system.
