Preparation  
3 Connecting the aerial and VCR  
Read the manuals provided with the devices. Depending on the device, the connection method  
may be different from the diagrams. Also the device settings may need to change depending on  
the connection method.  
Turn off all the devices including the TV.  
Connecting cables are not supplied.  
When connecting monaural audio to the TV, use the L/MONO jack.  
If your TV has an S-connector, you can connect an S-VIDEO compatible device (such as an S-  
VHS VCR) to the S-connector with an S-VIDEO cable and enjoy the high quality picture of the S-  
VIDEO signal (Y/C signal). In that case, do not connect it to the TV with a video cable.  
If you connect the VCR to the TV only with an aerial cable, you should preset the video channel  
from the VCR to the AV channel (channel number 0) on this TV. See MANUAL CH PRESETon  
page 18 and preset it manually.

4 Connecting other devices  
If you are not connecting any other devices, skip step 4 and perform step 5.  
Use the headphones with a stereo mini jack (3.5 mm in diameter). When you connect the  
headphones, the TV speakers go off.  
The OUTPUT terminal outputs the video and sound signals which you are viewing on the TV.  
You can dub them onto the VCR connected to the OUTPUT terminal.  
(The OUTPUT terminal cannot output teletext programmes, S-VIDEO signals or component  
video signals. Also it cannot output any signals when the TV is turned off.)  
Connect components outputting a component signal (Y/CB/CR signal), such as a DVD player, to  
the VIDEO-2 terminal, and set VIDEO-2 SET function to COMPONENT. (See page 16.)  
The following illustrations are for the AV-29LS. Your TVs front and rear pannels may not look
