T
he TV’s audio/video (AV) input jacks provide
for direct picture and sound connections
between the TV and accessory devices such as
VCRs, DVD players, and others that have AV out-
put jacks.
This example, which uses the INPUT-AV 1 jacks,
shows you one way you can connect a VCR to
your TV.
Refer to the directions-for-use manual for your
VCR for further information on connections.
To make the connections shown in this example,
you will need:
• one coaxial cable (75Ω)
• one cable for a video connection (standard
RCA connector)
•two cables for audio connections (standard
RCA connectors) (only one cable is needed for
a nonstereo VCR).
NOTE: The cables are not supplied with your TV.
You should be able to buy them at most stores
that sell electronics. Or you can call our

Connecting Accessory Devices to Your TV
CONNECTING A VCR
To simplify making connections, audio and
video cables often have color-code connec-
tors. The jacks on your TV are likewise
color coded to match the connectors. The
coding is as follows:
•Yellow for video (composite)
• Red for the right audio channel
•White for the left audio channel
NOTE: If your VCR is mono (non-
stereo), you will connect only one audio
cable. You must ensure that the TV is set
to MONO for the signal source to which
you’ve connected the VCR (
INPUT-AV
1,
INPUT-AV2, or the side panel inputs
[AV3]). Otherwise, you will receive
sound from only one of the TV’s speak-
