Choose Your Connection

There are several ways to connect your television, depending on the components you want to connect and the quality of the signal you want to achieve. The following are examples of some ways to connect your TV. Choose the connection which is best for you.

VCR Connection

- To avoid picture noise (interference), leave an adequate distance between the VCR and TV.

Set VCR output switch to channel 3 or 4 and then tune the TV to the same channel number.

VCR's output jacks to the TV input jacks, as shown in the figure. When connecting the TV to VCR, match the jack colors (Video = yellow, Audio Left = white, and Audio Right = red).

PLAY on the VCR. (Refer to the VCR owner`s manual.)
