Connections & Setup
Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against Power Surges
•
•
•
Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
Turn off the TV/VCR and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important
Safeguards sheet packed with your TV/VCR.
Protect Components from Overheating
•
Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that
air can circulate freely.
•
•
•
Don’t stack components.
When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air
from it won’t flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
•
Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
•
If you place components above the TV/VCR, route all cables down the side of the back of
the TV/VCR instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV/VCR.
•
If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin
lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your TV/VCR carefully. Place the TV/VCR on a stand or base that is of
adequate size and strength to prevent the TV/VCR from being accidentally tipped over, pushed
off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV/VCR. Refer to the
Important Safeguards sheet packed with your TV/VCR.
Use Indirect Light
Don’t place the TV/VCR where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen.
Use soft or indirect lighting.
Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV/VCR
The pictures below show the cables needed for the connections represented in this book.
Note: Audio/Video cables (A/V cables for short) are usually sold as a bundled set, but the
connection picture in this book shows each cable separately for better visibility.

Connect the RF coaxial cable from your cable feed, cable box, or off-air antenna to the
ANT/CABLE jack on the back of your TV/VCR.
2. Connect your DVD Player to your TV/VCR
To achieve the best picture quality, use the COMPONENT INPUT jacks on the back of the
TV/VCR to connect the TV/VCR to your DVD Player.
Note: Recording can’t be done in the COMPONENT INPUT (video/audio) mode.
If your DVD Player doesn’t have Component Jacks, use audio/video cables to connect the TV/VCR to the DVD
Player using the LINE IN VIDEO and AUDIO L and R jacks on the TV/VCR. Instructions for both scenarios follow:
Optimum Connection (illustrated above)
A. Connect three video grade cables to the COMPONENT-IN VIDEO jacks on the back of the TV/VCR – labeled Y,
PB (CB), PR (CR).
B. Connect the other ends of the video cables to the corresponding Component Output Jacks on your DVD Player
(sometimes labeled Y, Pb, Pr).
C. Connect audio cables to the COMPONENT-IN jacks labeled AUDIO L and R and to the Audio Output jacks on
the DVD Player (sometimes labeled AUDIO OUT L and R).
Normal Connection
A. Connect audio/video cables to the LINE IN/IN 1 jacks on the back of the TV/VCR (labeled VIDEO and AUDIO L
and R). Audio/video cables usually are bundled as a set. Usually, they are color-coded (yellow is video, red is
right audio, and white is left audio).
B. Connect the other ends of the a/v cables to the audio and video output jacks on the back of the DVD Player
(sometimes labeled AUDIO OUT L and R).

There are two ways to program the remote control: automatic code search and
direct entry. Instructions for both ways follow.
Using Automatic Code Search
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate (VCR, DVD Player,
etc.)
2. Press and hold the component button on the remote control that
corresponds to the component you want the remote to operate (VCR2,
DVD, etc.). While you hold down the component button, press and hold
ON•OFF (when the red light on the remote turns on, release both buttons).
3. Press PLAY (the red light on the remote, located below the ON•OFF button,
Tip
starts flashing).
To stop the automatic code search without
programming any components, press and hold CLEAR
until the light on the remote turns off.
The remote is searching the first set of component codes (there are 20 sets
of codes). If the component you want to operate doesn’t turn off
automatically after 5 seconds, press PLAY again (the red light starts flashing
again as the remote searches through the next set of codes).
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off.
Note: If the component doesn’t turn off after you’ve pressed the PLAY
button 20 times, the component can’t be programmed.
4. Press REVERSE, wait 2 seconds. Repeat this step until the component turns
back on.
5. To finish, press and hold the STOP button until the red light on the remote
turns off.

The Remote Control
Using Direct Entry
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate.
2. Look up the brand and code number(s) for the component on the code list on page 20.
3. Press and hold component button that corresponds to the component you want the remote
to operate (VCR2, DVD, etc.)
4. Enter the code from the code list on page 20.
5. Release the component button.
6. Press ON•OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn’t, try
pressing the component button and then ON•OFF again.
7. If you get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until
the component responds to the remote commands.
How to Use the Remote After You’ve
Programmed It
Once the remote has been programmed successfully, you are ready to use it to control your
components. To operate the component:
1. Press the component button (VCR2, DVD, AUX, or SAT•CABLE) to set the remote to control
the component.
2. Press ON•OFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Use the remote buttons that apply to that component.
Notes:
•
If you keep pressing buttons and nothing happens, the remote is probably in the
wrong mode. You must press the component button that matches the component you
want to operate (i.e., if you want to operate the DVD player, press DVD on the remote
control to put the remote in DVD mode.)
•
The buttons might operate differently for other components, especially when you’re
using another component’s menu system.

How V-Chip Works
When the V-Chip software is activated (or turned on), it reads a code that most
broadcasters send with programs. That code tells the software the program’s
age-based rating (TV-MA, TV-14, etc.) and content themes [(Violence (V), Adult
Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that
the program contains, a message will appear and the channel won’t be available
for viewing.

Using the TV/VCR’s Features
Tracking
Your TV/VCR has automatic tracking which removes streaks and “noise” from the picture.
Tracking has no effect when recording – only during playback. Automatic tracking is activated
when you insert a tape. TRACKING flashes on the TV screen during automatic tracking.
Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a
different VCR. Press the TRACKING + or – on the remote (CH + or CH– on the front of the TV/
VCR) to remove streaks and noise. You can also use tracking when pausing a tape to reduce the
noise of the still picture. When you use manual tracking, automatic tracking turns off.
The automatic tracking feature is restored the next time you insert a tape.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time used in recording or playing back a tape. The time
counter helps locate the beginning or end of recorded events.
For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of a tape, rewind it, and then
want to go to the end of the first program to start another recording:
1. Press the INFO button to display the time
counter.
2. Press the CLEAR button to reset the time
counter to 0:00.00.
3. Press FORWARD to advance a tape until the
time counter reads 0:30:00.
0:00.00
10:00AM OCT.15
4. Press STOP. This is the approximate end of a
30-minute program (you may want to press
PLAY to verify). When the tape is cued
correctly, you can begin recording.
5. Press the INFO button to remove the time
counter from the screen.

Care and Cleaning
CAUTION: Turn OFF your TV/VCR before cleaning.
You can clean the TV/VCR as required, using a soft lint-free cloth. Be sure to occasionally dust the ventilation slots in the
cabinet to help assure adequate ventilation.
The TV/VCR screen may be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth as well. Take care not to scratch or mar the screen.
If necessary, you may use a cloth dampened with warm water.
Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners
will damage the TV.
While cleaning, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV/VCR.
Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV/VCR. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or
damage to the TV/VCR.
Caution: If fixed (non-moving) images are left on the screen for long periods, they may be permanently imprinted on the
picture tube. Such images include network logos, phone numbers, and video games. This damage is not covered by your
warranty. Extended viewing of channels displaying these images should be avoided.
