Connecting Your Television, VCR, and DVD Player

NOTE: Do not connect a DVD Player to a VCR and then to the TV. Copyright protection will prevent the DVD signal from displaying clearly when routed through a VCR (as well as prevent copying of DVD movies to VHS). Connect your components as outlined below.

First, connect the DVD Player as follows:

You will require: audio / visual cables. You may also use an S-Video cable in place of the yellow visual cable if you prefer, and your television has an S-VIDEO input. Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD player to the AUDIO IN jack(s) on the rear of the television. Then connect the VIDEO OUT on the DVD player to the VIDEO IN on the television, OR connect the S-VIDEO OUT on the DVD player to the S-VIDEO IN on the television.

Connecting your DVD player in this manner will not affect your cable or antenna connection to your television. Please see Connecting Your Television and VCR for further details on these connections. To use the DVD player, the Input Mode or Channel on your television must be changed. Consult your Owner's Manual for instructions on using your TV and DVD player.

Then, connect the VCR as follows:

You will require: an antenna source and two coaxial cables. Connect the incoming signal to the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR using a coaxial cable. With the second coaxial cable, then connect the ANT OUT on the VCR to the ANT IN on the television.

Consult your Owner's Manual for instructions on setting up the VCR and, if necessary, performing the Channel Set-Up procedure.

OR

You will require: an antenna source, a coaxial cable, and audio / visual cables. Connect the incoming signal to the ANT IN jack on the rear of the VCR using a coaxial cable. With the color coded audio / visual cable, then connect the AUDIO OUT and VIDEO OUT on the VCR to the AUDIO IN and VIDEO IN on the television.

Note that by using this connection method, you will be required to change the Input Mode or Channel on your television. Consult your Owner's Manual for instructions on setting up the VCR and, if necessary, performing the Channel Set-Up procedure.
