How to View the VCR
To watch the VCR in this connection tune TV to
Channel 3 or 4.
Later, in the
Interactive Setup
section you will
program the TV to automatically tune to
Channel 3 or 4 when you turn on the VCR.
This Connection Will Not Allow
You to Use Picture-in-Picture
(PIP)
Your TV is equipped with a single tuner,
which means you must connect with a
second video source using Audio/Video
cables to view Picture in Picture (PIP). This
basic connection will not enable you to
use your PIP, but will get your TV up and
running quickly.
Refer to
Advanced Connections
for
connecting Audio/Video cables to your
VCR or other video component.
Coaxial Cables
: In this connection, two Coaxial
Cables are used: one connects from an antenna,
cable, or cable box to the VCR, and one connects
from the VCR to the TV. These cables carry both
audio and video signals.
Once you have completed this connection you may skip to Step 3.
